A cheese dairy in Pöggstall recently caused a tangible environmental alarm. Large amounts of heating oil are said to have flowed into the Weitenbach because of a defective tank. According to “Krone” information, there have been several problems with the company. “The Weitenbach was already contaminated by whey in 2022. The company was able to be determined as the polluter via water samples,” confirms the Melk district authority on request.Sewage fungus in the WeitenbachCurrently, the company has submitted the construction of an inflow pumping station, a flotation system, to improve the internal wastewater treatment – negotiations will take place shortly. “As early as 2017 and 2022, the whey discharge caused a wastewater fungus infestation. Now the oil is also damaging the aquatic insects and the fish eggs,” says Stefan Höfler, who is authorized to fish. Despite the request, the cheese dairy could not be reached for a statement.
