the essentials Close to Toulouse, in the town of Cugnaux, the management of the Henri-Matisse high school calls for caution. In an email, she announced to parents some failures in the water network. Several symptoms such as headaches or vomiting might be experienced by adolescents and staff.

What is happening with the water in this school? Since the start of the school year in September, the Henri Matisse high school, located in Cugnaux, has had to close its doors several times to avoid any health risk. It is in particular the quality of the water which is singled out. “The water at school had a strange taste and color,” reported a student a few months ago.

This Monday, December 18, a new problem linked to the hydraulic network was also reported. The high school principal immediately wanted to alert the parents of students: “We note a failure […]. The water is colored brown,” reports Muriel Bénazet, in a long email intended for families.

Vomiting or headache

According to the management of the Henri-Matisse high school in Cugnaux, the failures were caused by the Toulouse Métropole services which carried out “work with a cutoff on the city’s water network”. It is this construction site which would therefore have impacted the color and quality of the water used by high school students and staff. Still according to the establishment, the work was carried out “without warning and therefore without anticipating the consequences”.
