Se mantiene la prohibición de baño en Ribersborg tras la fuga de aguas residuales en Malmö

Una fuga de aguas residuales en el canal de Malmö ha provocado la prohibición de baño en varios lugares populares, aunque no en todos. Los niveles de bacterias están disminuyendo según las muestras.

El 5 de mayo, una tubería de aguas residuales se rompió en el centro de Malmö, provocando que aguas residuales sin tratar fluyeran hacia el canal. VA Syd ha bombeado desde entonces agua dulce para diluir los contaminantes.

La prohibición de baño sigue vigente en Ribersborgs kallbadhus, Scaniabadet y Sundspromenaden. En Sibbarps kallbadhus está permitido nadar, a pesar de que no se han tomado nuevas muestras allí desde la fuga.

Thomas Hulgaard Persson de VA Syd afirma que los niveles de bacterias están disminuyendo, pero las consecuencias medioambientales siguen sin estar claras. Las muestras del 11 de mayo muestran que los niveles descienden rápidamente en las zonas de baño.
