I believe mussels are now (2025) protecting more cities.

What is cool about Warsaw is the TAWARA-RTM (TAp WAter RAdioactivity Real Time Monitor.

"Warsaw as the first city in the world is protected by a comprehensive system that is capable to monitor in real-time radioactivity of municipal water and by an innovative spectroscopy system capable to identify any detected contaminants"

Interesting and surprising, to see that they have English versions online.
Almost all(i haven't checked them all myself) government sites in Poland have both Polish and English versions.
It's likely already planned, but testing for radioactivity in wastewater too would likely detect any released radioactive material that didn't impact tap water.
