The Water Resources Act requires every person to exercise general due diligence concerning water bodies and when handling water-hazardous substances. Furthermore, the law imposes specific requirements on businesses, public institutions, and agriculture regarding the handling of water-hazardous substances (e.g., fuels and lubricants, acids, alkalis).

The staff of the water authority is happy to assist you with further questions.
