The region writes in a press release that they have hopes that the quarry can be used already this autumn.
The technical administration has for six years examined the water source and waited for a permit to use it.
The water consumption in the pipe network around Sudersand has been so high on some days that the region has been forced to install extra tankers with water from the mainland of Gotland, which is not sustainable in the long run, according to the region.
- We always urge everyone not to use our tap water when filling the pools. It is our most important food, and we lack it. You can buy both fresh and salt water that is driven there by tanker. There are many contractors offering this.
