During the summers in southern Halland, irrigation is often banned at least once during the period.
But Laholmsbuktens VA, which is Halmstad's and Laholm's joint water company, does not think it is necessary to have an irrigation ban in any of the municipalities as it looks right now.
In addition, the period of high drinking water consumption in recent years has extended from a few weeks in the middle of the summer to now start already at Easter and continue into the autumn, something that P4 Halland was the first to report.
This is, among other things, an effect of the fact that many who are not permanent residents in the municipalities of southern Hallland worked from their holiday homes during the covid pandemic.
In the feature above, Mattias Hultin at Laholmsbuktens VA talks about why they do not introduce an irrigation ban so far
