Water shortages, restrictions may come to 15 settlements near Budapest

Residential drinking water supply organiser DMRV Ltd announced this morning that due to the heat alarm and the increased drinking water consumption, they ask several localities to cut down their consumption.

According to the company’s statement, the following villages are included on the list: Budakalász, Csobánka, Leányfalu, Nagykovácsi, Pilisborosjenő, Pilisszántó, Pilisszentiván, Pilisszentkereszt, Pilisszentlászló, Pilisvörösvár, Pomáz, Solymár, Szentendre, Tahitótfalu, and Üröm, 24.hu wrote. All of them are in the western suburban area of Budapest.

DMRV Ltd reassured residents that there is no drinking water shortage, but the measure is needed to maintain an undisturbed drinking water supply in the area.

In the case of a first-degree water restriction measure, it is forbidden to water gardens and parks between 6 AM and 11 PM. Furthermore, authorities cannot clean the pavements, roads, and residents cannot refill their pools or operate an automated irrigation system. That measure concerns only Szentendre and Pomáz at the moment. However, it may happen that it will be introduced in Leányfalu, Pilisvörösvár, Solymár, Csobánka and Pilisszentiván.
