Cautious all-clear
The water level of the Leitha in the district of Neusiedl is dropping
The all-clear has been given for the Leitha in the district of Neusiedl. The fire brigades are still on alert and sandbags are in reserve. However, the situation should ease.
While there was still hectic activity in Zurndorf and Nickelsdorf on Wednesday, the situation is now calming down. They are still standing "at gunpoint", but are already taking a deep breath, says district fire brigade commander Anton Kandelsdorfer. A total of almost 300 firefighters were deployed on Wednesday, filling sandbags and reinforcing the dams in Zurndorf and Nickelsdorf. A total of around 20,000 sandbags have already been used. More than 100 pallets of filled sandbags are in reserve.
On Thursday, the picture was more positive. The highest water level was reached in nearby Deutsch Haslau in Lower Austria. The municipality is only separated from Potzneusiedl in Burgenland by a bridge. This bridge has been closed since Tuesday and is likely to remain so. "We are still at a water level of 5.20 meters," says Mayor Franz Werdenich. The connection can only be reopened once the water has dropped below five meters. In Bruckneudorf, the water level is already dropping noticeably and the sandbag barrier is holding. In Gattendorf, a blockage was cleared by the army on Wednesday. There is only small-scale flooding.
In Zurndorf, fields were flooded, but everything is dry on the village side. The bridge in Leithagasse is still closed due to the high water level. In Nickelsdorf, the dam is leaking for around two kilometers. The road construction department is working on reinforcements here, while a platoon from the disaster relief service of the Eisenstadt-Umgebung district fire brigade secured the Nickelsdorf sewage treatment plant with sandbag barriers.
