Fecal bacteria in drinking water in East, boil-water advisory for 120 addresses

Waternet has issued a boil water advisory for 120 addresses in Amsterdam East after E. coli bacteria were discovered during maintenance work on Blasiusstraat and Camperstraat. Residents are advised to boil water for three minutes before consumption while the utility company flushes pipes and conducts safety testing. While healthy individuals are unlikely to become ill, the measure protects vulnerable groups from potential symptoms like nausea and abdominal cramps.
