Alarm about contaminated municipal tap water outside Hudiksvall

Do not drink the municipal tap water in the areas around Näsviken and Forsa, outside Hudiksvall. The municipality announced this on its website.

The municipality says that water samples show the water is unsafe. To avoid getting sick, the water should therefore be boiled before drinking or using for cooking. The water can still be used for showering and washing.

The boil-water advisory affects around 2,000 people and the municipality hopes to have a successful test on Saturday.

Until then, two water tanks have been delivered to a preschool and a leisure center, writes Kenneth Nyberg, communications officer at Hudiksvall Municipality, in an email to TT.

The cause of the unusable water is still unknown.
