With this discovery there are many questions. Is it pollution, contamination or a natural phenomenon.
According to statements by those present, the water level would have dropped sharply at this point.
The fire brigade veterinarian was informed of this find, as was the town hall and the gendarmerie. There is no doubt that the French Biodiversity Agency will take samples.
They had made some in Sainte-Anne in July 2021. Dozens of dead fish had also been found in a stream between Boisjolan and Helleux.
