It is the snowmelt together with rain that causes the flows and which causes SMHI to issue a warning and it looks like there will be continued rain during the week.
Prepared
- Of course, more rain is not good, but I'm not particularly worried.
During the last two days, the water has dropped back just over 20 centimeters.
We have
put extra measures in the treatment plant and also prepared us for possible power outages.
Should it be necessary, we can call in extra staff for the rescue service.
"I've seen worse"
Övertorneå municipality prepares every year for the flood and floods and always prepares for it to happen.
- I have seen worse situations than the high water flows we have now.
Are there any houses that have been affected by the flood?
- No, as luck would have it, says Simon Abrahamsson.
