Massive Water Theft Shocks Switzerland

On July 11, 2023, something strange happened in Wimmis. The local water reservoir reported that 1,000 litres of water were taken from the town every minute for 11 hours straight. This adds up to around 600,000 litres in total, which is almost all the water the town had in reserve

Search for Water Thief Continues

Despite a thorough investigation, no one knows who is behind this puzzling water disappearance. Beat Schneider, a member of the local council, admitted that they are facing a real mystery. They have ruled out technical issues or leaks as causes. According to Mayor Barbara Josi, the water must have been taken from a fire hydrant. This would have been a big operation, as it’s estimated that 20 to 30 water tankers would have had to pass through the village unnoticed to pull off such a heist.

Residents have been asked to share any information they might have about what happened on July 11. The town is also looking into ways to prevent something like this from happening again. They’re hesitant to file a criminal complaint unless they have solid leads, highlighting the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the incident and the motivations behind it.
