Scent confirmed by drinking water and lowered pH value

The first cell results indicate that water is not unfit for consumption in Hveragerði, but the odor of the water is confirmed by the Health Inspectorate. This is stated in a statement from the mayor on the town’s website.

Earlier this week, mbl.is reported that Hveragerðisbær has received suggestions from residents about changes in the cold water in certain homes.

In a discussion on the Facebook group of Hvergeringa, we talk about a strange and strange smell and strange taste of the water. Someone talked about the condition of the water being unnatural for a week.

Neither coli nor E. coli

The mayor’s announcement states that the town’s contingency plan for water supply is being worked on.

The Health Inspectorate has taken numerous samples in the area and based on the first information, neither collar nor E. coli is measured in the drinking water.

It is stated that at this stage, the monitoring has nothing to do with the water that the water is inaccurate based on germical criteria. The results and the first clues from other samples are awaited. These results will be published on the town’s website.

Reduced pH value is measured in the water, but within limits, which still gives rich grounds for investigating the case until the cause is revealed. It is a top priority, as stated in the announcement.

« Everyone is working on the matter with the town’s staff and numerous professionals to better identify the cause and the case is informed as the progress is explained.

We will report the results as soon as they are received here on the web, ”says the announcement and under it, Pétur G. Markan writes mayor.
