The heavy rainfall and thunderstorms on Thursday evening have caused problems all over the country, with many serious problems caused in Mandra in Attica and on Zakynthos.Dozens of villages on Zakynthos were also affected by the extensive floods and power outages that were caused by the heavy rainfall and lightening which struck DEI’s transformers over night.Two women had to be saved by the Fire Brigade after their cars were stuck in Laganas, while the Agios Charalambis River near the island’s airport overflowed, cutting off traffic on the national highway.
The European Commission is taking Greece to Court over a failure to ensure that waste water is properly treated. In the EU, Member States need adequate collection and treatment systems for urban waste water, as untreated water poses risks to human health, inland waters and the marine environment. Greece was first warned in 2010 about this particular case, which concerns areas with a population in a range between 2000 and 15000. Although many of the original concerns have since been addressed, the scale of the remaining problems has now led the Commission to refer the case to the EU’s Court of Justice.
