Following analyses carried out on samples taken from the Étang aux Poissons, in Quartier d'Orléans, the authorities found that regulatory compliance thresholds were exceeded.

These checks are part of a monitoring campaign designed to ensure the safety of aquatic environments and prevent any risk to human and animal health. While awaiting the results of further analyses, several precautionary measures must be followed. It is reiterated that fishing is prohibited in the pond. Authorities also recommend not consuming the water or using it for feeding or watering animals, and avoiding all direct contact with it, particularly for swimming or children's play. These instructions are effective immediately and will remain in effect until further notice.
