Water is safe again, but regional trains cancelled

Households in the Assens area can once again drink water from Andebølle and surrounding Waterworks. At the same time, Banedanmark is cancelling regional trains between Odense and Fredericia for the coming weeks, and Nyborg Municipality apologises for having used artificial intelligence in an appeal case.

Water from Andebølle can be drunk again

Households that receive water from Andebølle and surrounding Waterworks can once again drink the water and use it for cooking. The waterworks has announced this on its website.

On 26 October, more than the permitted limit values for arsenic were found in the water. The latest samples were taken on 11 November, and they show an arsenic level of 4.53 µg/l, which is below the limit value of 5 µg/l. The samples have been received by the waterworks and Assens Kommune (the local municipality). It was a technical problem in the waterworks' control system, which the waterworks has resolved together with its supplier. TV 2 Fyn

2 products recalled

Toy distributor Impulse A/S is recalling the digital drawing board "Drawing Tablet" because the button battery may become accessible to children. If the battery is swallowed, it can cause choking or serious caustic burns. The product was sold in Co-op stores "as well as at some other retailers", and customers can get their money back by returning the drawing board to the store where they bought it.

The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration reports that an organic Peanut butter crunchy from Urtekram is being recalled because a high content of the pesticide chlorpyrifos has been detected. The product was sold in Superbrugsen, Kvickly, Dagrofa, Alma, Løvbjerg and Firtal, and customers should return it to the store or dispose of it. TV 2 Fyn TV 2 Fyn

35 million kroner deficit at waste company

Odense Renovation is owned by Odense Kommune (the local municipality), and the company’s accounts must break even, so it must not make money from handling citizens’ waste. However, the company must not run a deficit either.

Right now, the deficit amounts to approximately 35 million kroner, and this deficit must be covered by customers. TV 2 Fyn

Banedanmark cancels regional trains and reduces speeds

Banedanmark (the state-owned company that maintains the railway) is introducing speed reductions on several sections of the country from Monday morning due to an "extraordinary" number of rail defects and a burned-out technical cabin at Aarup on Fyn. Banedanmark is also cancelling regional trains between Odense and Fredericia and replacing them with buses. The speed reductions are expected to continue until 29 November.

This year, Banedanmark has found 50 percent more rail defects than in a normal year, and trains to and from Aarup Station continue to run approximately five to ten minutes late. Fyn-elected Member of Parliament Mai Mercado (K), who sits on the transport committee, describes public transport as "completely unpredictable". TV 2 Fyn TV 2 Fyn
