Døde ål efter spildevandsudslip i Malmø

Et læk i en spildevandsledning har udledt spildevand i Malmø kanal i to dage. Hundredvis af døde ål er fundet ved Ribersborgsstranden, og badning frarådes på flere lokationer.

Spildevandet har resulteret i uklart vand og en ubehagelig lugt langs kanalen fra Västra hamnen til Slottsparken. VA Syd oplyser, at udledningen var det mindst dårlige alternativ, og har anmodet beboerne om at skylle mindre ud i toilettet.

Lækket blev stoppet fredag morgen kl. 03. VA Syd har intet kendskab til de døde ål, men vil undersøge sagen sammen med Malmø by.

Ålen har været på rødlisten siden 2005 og er klassificeret som kritisk truet. Beboere og erhvervsdrivende beskriver fundene som chokerende og kalder hændelsen en miljøkatastrofe.

VA Syd is urging central Malmö residents to flush toilets less, avoid laundry and dishwashing, and shower shorter or at friends' places outside the area. The reason is a leak in a major sewer line requiring repairs. Wastewater will be discharged into Malmö canal from May 5 at 19:00 to May 7 at 00:00.

Untreated wastewater continues flowing into the canal between Västra hamnen and Slottsparken at 300 liters per second after cracks were found in an old main sewer line. The discharge, which began after an announcement on May 4, is scheduled to run until midnight Thursday.
