Badförbud kvarstår vid Ribersborg efter avloppsläcka i Malmö

En avloppsläcka i Malmö kanal har lett till badförbud vid flera populära badplatser, men inte alla. Bakteriehalterna sjunker enligt prover.

Den 5 maj sprack en avloppsledning i centrala Malmö, vilket ledde till att orenat vatten rann ut i kanalen. VA Syd har sedan dess pumpat in friskt vatten för att späda ut föroreningarna.

Badförbud gäller fortfarande vid Ribersborgs kallbadhus, Scaniabadet och Sundspromenaden. Vid Sibbarps kallbadhus är det fritt fram att bada, även om inga nya prover tagits där sedan läckan.

Thomas Hulgaard Persson på VA Syd säger att bakteriehalterna minskar men att miljökonsekvenserna fortfarande är oklara. Prover från den 11 maj visar att nivåerna sjunker snabbt vid badplatserna.

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.
