Bourgmestre Perwézien Jordan Godfriaux (ensemble) had indicated that the water distributed in Perwez came mainly from the capture of Tourinnes-Saint-Lambert. However, on the SWDE site, it is possible to know the origin of the water consumed. And in several streets, it is“The 01193 distribution area of Mont-Saint-André” which is informed. Contacted by us, Jordan Godfriaux specifies that he only relayed the information contained in an email of June 24 of the SWDE, and that he shares the concerns of the opposition.“The swde explained that exceptionally, in case of high consumption, Orbais and Thorembais-Saint-Trond were fed by Vivaqua water which came from Tourinnes, details the bourgmestre. But we don’t know if recurring and when it happened. The SWDE must make all the transparency. We joined the municipality of Ramillies to have joint legal advice and we have joined the municipalities in eastern Walloon Brabant to organize a meeting with the SWDE. “

The Villages Group also requests that samples and water analyzes distributed in the taps be taken independently.
“We are already doing these analyzes, but we cannot do it ourselves. We go directly through the SWDE because it is their laboratory that performs the analysis. There is a series of conditions to be respected, we need an expert for this. Whether it is the SWDE or the bourgmestre that is responsible for the samples, it will ultimately be the same expert who will analyze them. And, to the knowledge of the communal college,replies the bourgmestre.
A application target value since January 1, 2024
Arrested, the SWDE unveils the history of this capture in Mont-Saint-André through its spokesperson Benoît Moulin: “From 2018, the Walloon Region, as part of monitoring the presence of emerging pollutants in the underground water masses, has taken samples. One of the elements observed was the Desphenyl-Chloridazone. Following the evolution of these studies, the Walloon Region decided that from January 1, 2024, it would ask the distributors to ensure that the water distributed does not pass the target value of 4,500 NG/L in Desphenyl-Chloridazone. “
Measures have been carried out. “”They show that at ramillies, in the tap, we are certainly above 4,500 ng/l, but not at the levels of the values of the raw waters. What is logical because it is not the raw water of the catchments which is distributed, but many the waters of a tank. In this tank, Tourinnes-Saint-Lambert water is mixed from a Vivaqua adduction (40 %), which does not contain desphenyl-chloridazone, and capturing water (60 %). When we analyzed tap water, we realized that we were above the target value of January 1, 2024 (4,500 ng/l, therefore), but still under the 11,000 NG/L, value under which we estimate in France that the consumption of water does not represent a danger. “
Coal filters were installed in December 2023 in Mont-Saint-André to go under the threshold of 4,500 NG/L. “”Now we are around 3,000 NG/L. Anyone can consult the data on the SWDE website. “

“In the event of a consumption peak”
Three outbursts have still been noted in recent months. Of which once following an electrical failure which has occurred at the device which must mix water from Tourinnes-Saint-Lambert and that captured in Mont-Saint-André.
Finally, concerning the origin of water in certain streets of Perwez, the SWDE confirms the elements described in the email of June 24.“This is a particular situation. The water provided by Vivaqua from the Tourinnes water tower passes through certain streets of Perwez before joining Mont-Saint-Andréexplains Benoît Moulin. It is only in the event of a consumption peak that it is mixed with the water from the tank. And Vivaqua water is of better quality … “
