V nedeljo, 29. junija 2026, so porabniki pitne vode v mestu Maribor in okoljskih občinah, kot sta Ruš in Selnica ob Dravi, dobili obvestilo o preventivni dezinfekciji pitne vode. Ta ukrep bo trajal od torka, 30. junija, do njegovega preklica. Obvestilo je objavil javni holding Maribor, ki skrbi za oskrbo s pitno vodo v teh občinah. Preventivna dezinfekcija bo zajela celotno območje, vključno z delom vodovodnega sistema, kjer se takšni postopi redno ne izvajajo. Cilj tega ukrepa je preprečiti morebiten razvoj mikroorganizmov v vodovodnem omrežju, kar bi lahko vplivalo na kakovost pitne vode.
Preventivna dezinfekcija je začasen ukrep, ki ne vpliva na zdravstveno ustreznost pitne vode. Med njenim trajanjem porabniki lahko zaznajo rahel vonj po kloru. To je običajen pojav pri izvajanju podobnih postopkov. Voda bo ves čas primerna za pitje, pripravo hrane in osebno higieno. Mariborski vodovod je poudaril, da je ta ukrep del rednih aktivnosti, ki zagotavljajo varno in kakovostno oskrbo s pitno vodo. Porabniki so bili pozorni na to, da je začasen ukrep in da ne predstavlja posebnega tveganja za zdravje.

Slovenske noviceIndependentCenterFactual 85Objective 905 hr. agoThe Slovenian Environmental Agency (ARSO) has warned that the quality of water at several popular swimming areas in Slovenia has deteriorated due to prolonged heat and dry conditions. Microbial water quality remains acceptable, but visible changes such as algae growth and seaweed have been observed at locations like Portorož, MZL Debeli Rtič, and Hotel Piran. In Šobčev Bajer, an increase in plankton algae has turned the water greenish. Similar issues have been noted at parts of Lake Bled, though no official bathing areas have yet been affected. ARSO advises swimmers to avoid areas with visible algae, especially for children and pets. The National Institute of Public Health recommends basic precautions, such as avoiding drinking the water and rinsing after swimming. ARSO monitors water quality regularly during the bathing season, which runs from June to September for coastal areas and June to August for lakes and rivers.
