The prefectural order says the Loire reached crisis thresholds and sets water-use restrictions in parts of Indre-et-Loire. It places the whole department at least under vigilance, names several rivers at alert or reinforced alert, and prohibits water uses in specified crisis zones, including the Loire and Indre systems.

The order is effective from 00:00 on 11 October 2026 and abrogates the previous order from 25 September. Truyes’s notice reminds residents that the Indre is among the waters affected. The restrictions do not apply to priority uses such as public drinking-water supply and civil safety.
