Millions of euros are needed to combat the persistent pollution of the Twente Canal near Hengelo with a toxic substance. The best option to combat the pollution costs 14.5 million euros, according to a report prepared by consultancy firm Tauw at the request of the Municipality of Hengelo and Rijkswaterstaat (RWS). Which party will pay for the proposed measures has yet to be decided.
