Technicians of the company are Saturday all day digging, looking for the leak. The work also during the night and that can noise.
For people with any questions Liander a temporary information centre was opened. That is the Mondriaansplantsoen, at the height of the Rembrandtlaan. The information point is open daily from 9.00 to 21.00 hours open.

“more and more complaints”
“this Morning we received the first notification of a resident. Then we have the meter checked. Then the gaskas down the street. Meanwhile, there were more and more complaints. Then you know that it is wrong,” says Christian Imming of Liander.
Cause
The storingsmonteur greeted more and more colleagues. Around lunchtime, there are already four buses of the system operator at the end of the Nicolaas Maesstraat. “We don’t know the cause and we know not where we should look. I just made a round through the neighborhood driven. Looked at where the pipe is lit,” says Imming.
later that same Saturday afternoon, it is clear that the problems of large forms. Shops in the mall The Gate of the city are without gas. There is water in the pipes. “That will ‘refurbish’, to spread.”
“Push”
There arrives a storingsmonteur. It is Jacob Boonen from Harderwijk. Leaning against his car, he hauls himself in the overall of Liander and changes his shoes for the work boots. Boonen recognize the problems in Ede. “In Apeldoorn and Oldebroek, I have the same experienced. Also there are gas pipes and water pipes against each other. If the water pipe is leaking, the pressure on the gas line so large that the water there. Here, you can also give in easily to the hand."
He rubs in the wrong hands. “Get to work! The longer it takes, the further it goes."
Incorrect quantity
Rinus Jansen from the Rembrandtlaan, noticed Saturday morning in his bathroom that it was wrong. “The temperature is automatically regulated. Now it was cold. When I called, I had 9 waiting for me. I didn’t get through. Da’s went really wrong, I thought. Especially when I have these vans of Broad by the street, saw driving."
Coffee
Complain does Jones not further. “I have a straalkachel. The shopping we had already done." In his hands he is holding a tray with coffee for the storingmonteurs of Liander. That take the steaming mugs gratefully. Because in the houses the temperature slowly fall. Outside is also cold.
