Water restrictions imposed in Zalaegerszeg



First-level water use restrictions have been introduced in Zalaegerszeg, Fidesz mayor Zoltán Balaicz announced on Facebook.

The measures prohibit hose-based watering of public parks and private gardens, the washing of streets and pavements, the use of automatic irrigation systems, vehicle washing with hoses, and the filling of swimming pools.

Public and commercial operators, including baths, wellness hotels and swimming facilities, are required to reschedule pool water replacement cycles.

The restrictions also suspend withdrawals from fire hydrants for industrial and agricultural purposes.
