DTLCOLAOR du oadeal nE Te nudlofado AnELOOES Betr.: Drinking water supply in Kladno, TS Instructions of 4.3.1943 -St.S. IV H - 2/43. setord secelotor The water supply conditions of the city K 1 a d n o have been very unfavourable due to the mining operation for years. The water reservoirs removed from the centre of the city, about 4 - 6 km, are not very favourable in geological terms, and the efficiency of the facilities is subject to a considerable variation depending on the low-cost periods. This is also due to the variability of the bacteriological nature of the water, which is continuously chlorinated after the tanks for safety reasons prior to its production. The current lack of water is due to low rainfall summer and autumn 1942 and to the low snow winter 1942-1943. A further deterioration of the conditions is to be expected. Whether savings are achieved by the current closure of the pipeline between 4 p.m. and 6 p. m., I think it is questionable, since it must be expected that the inhabitants will make a supply of water in the afternoon, which they will then supply in the morning hours after the water pipeline is put back into operation. The district authority therefore intends to remove the blocking of the water pipe. Due to the ordered blocking and the resulting shock filling and emptying of the pipe network, the water has become cloudy. Therefore, the complaints of the population. Trübe's water is useless for drinking and use purposes, if it is awch bacteriologically impeccable.
