Drought in Saône-et-Loire and Côte-d'Or: regulated reopenings and tensions

On October 28, 2026, the Saône-et-Loire prefecture authorizes, subject to conditions and from October 26, the gradual reopening of car wash stations while the department remains under drought emergency. The same day, a prefectural order allows in Côte-d'Or a partial reopening of car wash stations since October 28 in municipalities where drinking water networks are not under strain, with restrictions remaining in force elsewhere. In Arc-sur-Tille, the Sinotiv'eau union is considering solutions, including possible water cuts, given the critical level of aquifers in several municipalities in Côte-d'Or. On October 29, after months of closure linked to drought, car wash stations gradually reopen in Saône-et-Loire and Côte-d'Or, but restrictions persist and financially weakened professionals express their anger. Still in Côte-d'Or, the Reine de Dijon mustard maker, in Fleurey-sur-Ouche, must adapt its mustard and sauce production to water restrictions.
