- We do not know for sure where these bacteria come from, says Thomas Martinsson, operations manager for sports and outdoor facilities in Motala municipality.
Last night, samples were taken again, but the answers will be delayed until sometime during the weekend, perhaps until Sunday.
In the meantime, the recommendation is not to swim at the municipal bathing sites in Lake Vättern.
- The reason is of course that you can get sick, says Thomas Martinsson.
It was yesterday that Motala municipality went out and advised against swimming in Lake Vättern at the bathing sites Torpa sand, Råssnäsbadet, Varamobaden, Pariserviken and Jerusalem area.
The test results showed high and very high values for e-coli bacteria, coliform bacteria and intestinal enterococci.
