The residents of Koivuniemi and Saarlammi will use Imatra water in the future

Residents of the Koivuniemi and Saarlammi areas of Imatra will receive water from Imatra in the future.

— In the past, water has come to these residential areas from Ruokolahti. Now the water is directed to them from the Imatra water supply network, network master Kari Mäkelä Imatran Vedette says.

In practice, the change does not affect the customers' everyday life: water comes from the tap in the old model and billing works as before.

The change required the construction of a new water main. The new line runs from the connecting pipe between Imatra and Ruokolahti at the bottom of Saimaa to Koivuniemi.

—The old water supply line started to need renovation, and in that context, making a change became timely. Currently, other municipal technology is also being built in the Koivuniemi area, and the work is also connected to that, Mäkelä states.

In addition, two wastewater pumping stations were renovated in the area.
