Utrecht Cuts Down Trees Near Water Reservoir

Due to a risk to a drinking water reservoir, the city of Utrecht has removed approximately 113 trees surrounding the site. The trees, planted on top of the reservoir, were found to be causing damage through their weight, leading to a temporary contamination of drinking water. Authorities are now repairing the reservoir and replacing the trees with shrubs elsewhere in the park to eliminate the hazard and ensure water quality.
