According to sources, the Land and Environment Court has made its decision after years of work, giving Gnesta the right to draw water from Lake Klämmingen. It is now clear to start building a new water treatment plant, which is planned to secure the municipality's water supply. The plan is to start preparatory work in the spring and the actual construction in the autumn, though the specific preparatory work to be done has not been detailed.
The next step is to sign a contract with a contractor, but which contractor will be selected remains undetermined. If the work proceeds according to plan, the new water treatment plant is estimated to be operational by the end of 2027, according to the municipality. The exact cost of building the new water treatment plant has not been disclosed.
