Yesterday afternoon, a water leak was discovered in central Tranås after a water pipe was excavated in connection with a district heating work. At first there was so much water on Ängarydsgatan that it was not possible to drive by car under the railway viaduct.

Patrik Karlsson is the community building manager at Tranås municipality.

- The leak is repaired and all the properties have once again got water in the tap, he says.

The water must not be drunk

However, drinking from the tap is still not approved. Residents are therefore urged to boil the water before cooking. During the morning, new water samples will be made and Karlsson hopes that they will receive an answer to the express analysis as soon as possible.

- Now we will work on looking over the management network and make sure that the repair is permanent and works, says Patrik Karlsson.
