Also, the local water provider has been told to identify the cause of the problem and eliminate it, the government office said in a statement on Thursday.

It must also deliver drinking water to local residents and keep them abreast of developments, it added.

The government office is investigating whether the service provider bears responsibility and is monitoring compliance. A fine of up to 5 million forints can be levied for non-compliance, it said.

The ban will remain in place until measurements show that water quality has returned to acceptable levels, the statement said.
