Water tower in Piteå is at risk of emptying: “People can be without water for two days”

Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

The water leak on one of the large feeder lines affects the water supply in the southern parts of Piteå municipality; Munksund, Skuthamn, Haraholmen, Pitsund and further towards Jävre. A water tank has been installed and valves have been rewired overnight but the water leak persists.

– This affects many people in Piteå and we have sent out a message to everyone in the area to try to conserve water. It is a serious situation for the water supply, says Fredrik Bellander, who has never experienced anything like this.

“The water may run out”

Among other things, the Adventure Pool in Piteå has had to close as one of the measures.

– We see that we are constantly losing the level in the water tower. If it continues at this rate, we have to be prepared for a worst-case scenario – that the water runs out, says Fredrik Bellander.
