The people in Bad Homburg need drinking water. There must also be water for fire departments. An emergency must be avoided. People must therefore use much less drinking water immediately!
We urge you to follow the rules. These rules are important in addition to the "yellow traffic light":
A drinking water emergency is when there is not enough drinking water. This happens when there is not enough water for the town or parts of the town. The town of Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe then says that there is a drinking water emergency. This is stated in the hazard prevention ordinance of 27.11.2019.
In a drinking water emergency, water may only be used for important things. Water may be used for personal hygiene, flushing the toilet, drinking and cooking.
If you don't comply, you have to pay money. This can be a lot of money. The magistrate can also set times when water is available.
