Frankenmarkt – In Frankenmarkt (Vöcklabruck district) large amounts of manure escaped from a cesspool on Saturday and flowed across a meadow into a stream. From there, the manure spread to eight adjacent fish ponds. Drinking water wells are also affected by the contamination. It was not immediately possible to say how extensive the damage was. The police have launched an investigation into a farmer on suspicion of negligently damaging the environment.
