Badeforbud opprettholdes ved Ribersborg etter kloakklekkasje i Malmö

En kloakklekkasje i Malmös kanal har ført til badeforbud på flere populære steder, men ikke overalt. Bakterienivåene er synkende ifølge prøver.

Den 5. mai sprakk et avløpsrør i sentrale Malmö, noe som førte til at urenset avløpsvann rant ut i kanalen. VA Syd har siden pumpet inn friskt vann for å fortynne forurensningene.

Det er fortsatt badeforbud ved Ribersborgs kallbadhus, Scaniabadet og Sundspromenaden. Ved Sibbarps kallbadhus er det åpent for bading, selv om det ikke er tatt nye prøver der siden lekkasjen.

Thomas Hulgaard Persson hos VA Syd sier at bakterienivåene synker, men at miljøkonsekvensene foreløpig er uklare. Prøver fra 11. mai viser at nivåene faller raskt ved badestedene.

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.
