Since early this morning, around 5 o’clock, water at the water company Helsingevatten has been unusable after someone or a few broke into the building, reports P4 Gävleborg.
– What we know is that last night someone forced the front door to our upper reservoir for drinking water, says Vattenbolaget Helsingevatten’s CEO Ylva Jedebäck Lindberg to P4 Gävleborg.
– But we don’t know if another step has been entered, to the drinking water basin.
As a precautionary measure, Helsingevatten now urges residents to boil their water before consumption.
Initially, a VMA was also issued for the municipality of Ovanåker, but it is Bollnäs and Freluga that were affected.
The police have been on site together with technicians and will investigate it as sabotage.
