In Kanna Town, 14 residents who drank the tap water supplied to the town suffered from food poisoning, complaining of symptoms such as diarrhea and stomach pain. On the 8th, the town announced that it was considering providing compensation to the affected residents, including medical expenses and medicine costs. The town plans to ask in detail about the number of people who had symptoms, the nature of their symptoms, and the progress of their treatment. As a result of the investigation into the cause, it was found that the cause was water flowing back from an agricultural water tank through a drainage pipe and mixing into a simple water tank.
