Pollution of the Alzette in Schifflange

On Sunday morning, February 11, pollution of the Alzette was detected in Schifflange. To stop the contamination, the CGDIS has installed a dam in the Brill district. DP MP Gusty Graas has asked the Minister of the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity whether the Water Management Authority has been able to find out more about the origin of this pollution, what exactly the pollution is and when the problem will be solved, whether damage has been caused to flora and fauna and whether there is a potential link with the pollution of the Alzette at the Schifflange sewage work on January 13, 2024.
