Mistake behind sewage spill in Malmö

The technicians who carried out the work followed the plan agreed with management, but the plan was incorrectly formulated, VA Syd tells P4 Malmöhus.

But even if everything had been done correctly, there probably still would have been a release in the near future, according to Liselotte Stålhandske, head of the distribution department. The sewage network in the affected section is between 65 and 120 years old.

It's getting very stressful, and we would have had the leak regardless, she told the station.
