  • Is Luxembourg tap water healthy?
  • Scientific work has proven that the health status for surface water bodies in Luxembourg is bad and that one third of groundwater sources are polluted by pesticides in Luxembourg. But this is not all – there exist other good reasons to be sceptical about the tap water in Luxembourg :
  • Is it safe to drink water in Luxembourg?
  • When pumping, groundwater does not come into contact with surface water, which contains germs and microorganisms, and Luxembourg uses an ultrafiltration system for additional groundwater treatment. So it is completely safe to drink. The quality and distribution of drinking water in Luxembourg is the responsibility of the municipalities.
  • Is Luxembourg compliant with “urban waste water treatment directive”?
  • So from previous newsletters you know quite well that that nation branded Luxembourg is still not compliant with “urban waste water treatment directive”, providing for secondary (biological) waste water treatment, and even more stringent treatment where necessary although this directive was adopted in 1991, so 25 years ago !
  • Is Luxembourg drinking water compliant to the Drinking Water Act?
  • The map above shows the municipalities where drinking water is not compliant to the drinking water act. Scientific work has proven that the health status for surface water bodies in Luxembourg is bad and that one third of groundwater sources are polluted by pesticides in Luxembourg.
