The Regional Health Inspection (RZI) in Sliven has advised residents of six villages in Kotel municipality—Ticha, Ostra Mogila, Orlovo, Topuzovo, Filaretovo, and Malo Selo—not to use tap water for drinking or cooking due to microbial contamination found during routine monitoring on June 8, 2026. The RZI issued orders to 'Vik-Sliven' JSC to implement hygiene and epidemic prevention measures and restore water quality. Residents will be informed once the water meets safety standards after further testing. Heavy rains on June 4 caused flooding in Ticha, leading to significant damage.
