Banned pesticide found near drinking water area in dunes

Last year, high concentrations of the agricultural toxin dinoterb, banned since 1998, were measured in Heemskerk, not far from where the water supplier PWN purifies the water in the dunes. The Hollands Noorderkwartier Water Board is investigating whether the limit values were exceeded and is including the data in its ongoing investigation into the source of the pollution.

Fire brigade begins pumping out water from flooded Volendam neighborhoods

The fire department was busy placing sandbags and pumping out water from the flooded areas of Volendam on Sunday. Sandbags have been placed at the well-known Hotel Spaander at the harbor, according to the municipality of Edam-Volendam. Water has also been pumped out of the basement of the hotel. Areas outside the dikes in Volendam, and also in nearby Monnickendam, have suffered from flooding because of the very high water level of the Markermeer. The lake reached its highest water level on Sunday morning.
