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.

E Sonndegmoien, den 11. Februar 2024, gouf zu Schëffleng eng Verschmotzung vun der Uelzecht festgestallt. Fir d’Kontaminatioun ze stoppen, huet de CGDIS am Quartier Brill e Barrage installéiert.

An deem Kader wollt ech dem Här Minister fir Ëmwelt, Klima a Biodiversitéit follgend Froe stellen:

  1. Huet d’Waasserwirtschaftsamt scho kënne méi erausfannen iwwert den Ursprong vun där Pollutioun?
  2. Em wat vir enger Verschmotzung handelt et sech genee a wéini wäert de Problem geléist sinn?
  3. Si Schied un der Flora a Fauna entstan?
  4. Gëtt et e potenzielle Lien mat der Verschmotzung vun der Uelzecht bei der Schëfflenger Kläranlag vum 13. Januar 2024
