The cause is a water leak that was discovered during the night. Large parts of the municipality have been without water, but the error must now be fixed.
“The precautionary principle still applies, which means that everyone who is connected to the municipal VA network in Karlskoga should boil the water before consuming,” writes Karlskoga Energi and Environment on their website.
The request applies to all more than 15,000 households connected to the municipality’s water and sewage.
According to the municipality, the water is clean enough to wash your hands and shower in.
