Avoid contact with ditch water in Zoeterhage and Van Tuyllpark

Sewage has entered the ditches and ponds in the Zoeterhage industrial area and Van Tuyllpark. As a result, the water is contaminated, and contact with it should be avoided.

The recommendation:

  • Avoid contact with water
  • Do not let your dog swim in the water
  • Do not let children play in or near the water
  • Do not spray sports fields

Water quality is (temporarily) poor. We, as a municipality, are working with the water board to resolve the situation. As soon as more information becomes available, you can find it here or at “Sewage Overflows in Zoetermeer: Avoid Contact with Water” | Schieland and Krimpenerwaard Water Board.
