According to Thomas Nordström, technical manager at Storuman Municipality, housing in the western part of Hemavan is affected.

- It is a little unfortunate because a sewage pipe has been affected in connection with this. In normal cases, it is quite quick to fix a broken pipe, but now we have to send in samples to see that the water is not unclean, says Nordström.

Because of this, the municipality is now working to find an opportunity for a toilet and shower for those affected. No earlier than Thursday morning, answers to the drainage samples are expected and the water will be turned off at least until then.

- Then we get to see what we can do based on the answers we get, says Nordström.
