Release
9.9.2020 14:27

An overflow occurred at Honkapirti's wastewater pumping station on Tuesday, September 8.9. and Wednesday 9.9. the night between. The leak was caused by a power outage.

About 84 m3 of water flowed into Vuoki.

 - Fortunately, compared to the flow of the river, the amount is small, water supply manager Kari Pietarinen says.

The overflow that occurred is the second overflow that has occurred in the Honkapirti area as a result of a power outage. Investigation work to prevent similar problems in the future is underway.
