After several days of work, all the pipe parts were installed and the leak itself fixed on Thursday, but the public has until now been asked to be sparing with the water.
The situation was critical
– The flushing work during the night has gone well and the water pipes are back in normal operating mode. This means that from now on you can use water as usual again. Pireva thanks everyone for their understanding and efforts to contribute in the unusual and critical situation that has been, says Pireva.
The extensive water leak in Piteå occurred on the night of Monday when a large supply line broke and the water tower in Munksund was completely emptied of water. A total of 2,400 addresses in the southern parts of Piteå were affected.
