Boil water recommendation lifted in Örnsköldsvik after water leak
Residents of Örnsköldsvik and the surrounding area can now breathe a sigh of relief as the municipal company Miljö och Vatten has announced that the tap water in Örnsköldsvik can be used as usual again. This comes after a water leak was discovered in the town of Själevad earlier this week, prompting a recommendation for residents to boil their water.
“The households in Örnsköldsvik’s central location that previously received the recommendation to boil their drinking water for food and drink no longer have to do so,” the company wrote in a press release.
The water leak was discovered last Wednesday, leading to a conservation effort by households to prevent a larger area from being completely without water until the leak was repaired. However, the work to fix the leak took time as it was located in a pipe in a waterlogged terrain.
Now that the leak has been repaired, residents can use their tap water without any concerns. The lifting of the boil water recommendation brings relief to the community as they can now return to their normal water usage.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining the water infrastructure to prevent such disruptions in the future. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about updates and recommendations from the municipal company to ensure the safety of their water supply.
