The chlorate level, at 0.98 milligrams per liter, was higher than the established safe limit of 0.7 milligrams per liter. Corrective measures were adopted this Thursday, including changing the chlorine, replacing the storage tank with a new one and flushing the water treatment plant's disinfection circuits.
Until the new test results are available, the City Council will continue distributing water to schools, high schools, nursing homes and the Health Center. However, it has reminded residents that the water can be used for washing, doing laundry or watering, and that social services are conveying this information.
Finally, Binéfar City Council has reported that the information received from the laboratories will be updated on Monday and communicated to residents through the usual public channels: the mobile alert system, digital information screens, social media, the municipal website and the media.
