He emphasized that the current situation demands swift action from health authorities and local officials, as the matter directly impacts citizen well-being.
Filipçe specifically highlighted the dangers associated with compromised infrastructure. He warned that the continued use of unsafe water poses an elevated threat, with food poisoning being a primary concern.

The director urged that the community must prevent a localized crisis from escalating into a broader public health emergency. His statements serve as a call for comprehensive oversight, urging the appropriate authorities to intervene immediately to safeguard public health standards. The focus must be on ensuring the safety of the municipal water supply and establishing rigorous protocols for food handling across the region.
