WWZ calls for water conservation

Due to the ongoing drought-like conditions, the WWZ company is calling for the careful use of drinking water.

The WWZ (Wasserwerke Zug) water supplier company has said that water consumption should be limited to the bare minimum, in coordination with the Kleinwangen water supply and the local council. This is to ensure the continued supply for residents, businesses, and companies.

As no significant rainfall is expected in the near future, residents are asked to consciously conserve water. Garden pools should not be filled, lawns should not be watered, and vehicles should not be washed until further notice.

Washing machines and dishwashers should only be run when fully loaded.
