Schools in Nyköping and Oxelösund were closed on Thursday and all planned care at Nyköping's hospital was canceled during the day.
Repairs have been going on all day, and in the afternoon water could start to be released.
- When it comes to supply, we still have a leak and the water is partly still shut off.
So we do not have full operation yet.
When it comes to the quality of the water, we have no status on it either, therefore we recommend boiling the water in the current situation, says Kent Nyman, division manager for the technical division in Nyköping.
