It was in January that Råneå bathhouse had to close its doors after legionella bacteria were found in the bathhouse’s men’s showers. After the operating staff flushed the pipes and toilets with 75 degree hot water, it was found that the bacteria still remained in the bath house and the shutdown was prolonged.
Threatened with closure
After the failed attempt, it looked like the bathhouse would have to close down, as the building had already reached and exceeded its technical lifespan. But the cultural and leisure committee decided to try one more measure despite this.
“Missed it so much”
The replacement of various pipes in the building had a successful result and the samples have shown good water values since then. Now it is clear that the bathhouse will open on May 22, and the news is being received with joy by many residents of Råneå.
– It feels great, we’ve missed it a lot, says Lena Sundvall.
