Drinking water alarm in Sa Pobla: Why did residents only learn about the nitrate danger months later?

Answer

Why was the tap water in Sa Pobla considered unsafe?

Tests found nitrate levels above the legal limit in parts of Sa Pobla’s drinking water supply. Water with levels over the EU limit is not considered suitable for direct consumption, especially for infants and pregnant women. The concern is not only the contamination itself, but also the delay before residents were informed.
