Residents of Bovenstraat, Keerstraat, and Kortestraat in Halen can expect temporary or reduced tap water availability on Thursday, October 1st, between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM due to planned works by De Watergroep.

The works will affect specific house numbers: 1 to 43 in Bovenstraat, 2 to 8 in Keerstraat, and 1 to 26 in Kortestraat.
To minimize inconvenience, residents are advised to store sufficient water beforehand by filling bottles or buckets. During the interruption, it is best to keep all taps closed and avoid using appliances connected to the water network, such as washing machines or dishwashers.
After the works are completed, tap water may temporarily appear yellow or light brown. This is normal. In such cases, running the tap for a short while until the water runs clear is recommended.
Affected residents will also receive a letter from De Watergroep. More information and the latest updates can be found at www.dewatergroep.be/werken or by calling 02 238 96 99.
