Residents of Hoogeveen and the surrounding area will receive less water from their taps on Saturday. A transport pipeline was damaged by the storm that swept across the Netherlands during the night from Friday to Saturday. Drinking water company WMD says that as a result, it is receiving half the usual amount of groundwater.
