Drinking water must be boiled on Gotland
Published
Residents in the area between Eksta and Näs on Gotland have received an important notice from the authorities. Due to problems in the production of drinking water, residents must now boil their water before using it for food and drink.
The disruption in the water supply means that the quality of the water in the distribution network cannot be guaranteed. Boiling the water is a precautionary measure to ensure that no harmful bacteria remain in the water used in households.
The authority Krisinformation.se recommends that the water be boiled in a pot until it bubbles vigorously. This kills any microorganisms that may cause illness. The boiled water should then be allowed to cool before being drunk or used in cooking.
It is currently unclear how long the boil water advisory will remain in effect for the affected households. Residents in the area are urged to stay updated via local news channels and the municipality's official website to receive information on when the water is once again safe to drink directly from the tap.
