The bathhouse will undergo water treatment and sewage system work that has never been done before, according to multiple reports. Nordpoolen celebrated its 30th anniversary last autumn. According to Piteå-Tidningen, a staff member described the work as a "root renovation" to keep the facility operational for another 30 years.
The exact start date of the closure has not been announced, and it is unclear what other renovations will be carried out beyond the water and sewage work. The total cost of the project has not been disclosed, and no alternative facilities for visitors during the closure have been confirmed.
