"There has been a leak in a pipeline," says Nils Karlsson, at the municipality's VA diversion.

It was during Tuesday morning that the leak was discovered. Several apartments between Busstorget, Högbergsgatan, Kruthusgatan and Östra Ågatan are affected by the water leak.

- There are a number of properties that have been hit because we have to turn off the water to be able to work, says Nils Karlsson.

Traffic around the square is also affected.

- We have to stand with the excavator on the narrow car road to be able to fix the leak so it is completely shut off, he says.

When are you ready?

- If everything goes well we are ready this afternoon, says Nils Karlsson.
