Uhm, no, that would mean people couldn't get cold water anymore.
The heat is distributed through pipes dedicated to heat distribution, separate from the water supply. The pipe network is called "Warmtenet Noordwest".
edit: perhaps they meant that the entity maintaining these pipes is the same as the one maintaining the water supply? Could have been phrased more clearly.
- FredPret 4y agoIt could be that district water system refers to the district heating system, and not the tap water system
- Doxin 4y ago"district water system" almost definitely refers to the heating system when talking about dutch water systems. Tap water is --as far as I know-- handled on a municipal level, not a district level.
