The drinking water in the village of Rochebrune has once again been declared compliant and safe for consumption since Tuesday, October 20, 2026, following favorable analyses conducted on October 16th. The ongoing restrictions have therefore been lifted.

Analyses on October 16, 2026, confirmed the return to normal quality for the drinking water in Rochebrune. One of the two intakes supplying the network, identified as the source of the bacteriological contamination, has been disconnected. Permanent chlorination has also been implemented in the reservoirs.
The Prefecture has consequently lifted the restrictions that had been in place for several days. Residents can now safely drink and cook with tap water.
