What the CEI will help you with:
- In the case of an obviously visually polluted and smelly water surface, e.g. unnatural color, large amount of foam, floating substances on the surface, death of fish, etc. - contact the CEI.
- If a legal or natural person running a business discharges waste water into surface waters or freely onto the ground, contact the CEI. If the wastewater is discharged by a natural person, contact the relevant water authority.
- You can report detected leakage of liquid substances to the CEI, for example from leaky above-ground storage tanks, insufficiently secured sumps, tanks for petroleum substances, leaks in above-ground pipes, etc.
When you need to contact other public administration bodies
- The foreign smell or taste of the water from your domestic well or water supply is a problem that is dealt with by the municipal authority or hygiene service.
- If you have a problem with a cesspool for export at a family house, contact the building authority.
