The crayfish farm in Kila has been a recurring problem for both local residents and the environmental administration in Säffle for the past six years, according to official sources. There is leakage from the facility, which risks ruining the Kila River, as described by Sven-Erik Edvardsson, a representative of the Kila Village Association, in a report by SVT Värmland. The specific environmental damage caused by the leakage remains unclear, and it is unknown what measures authorities have taken to address the issue.
The initiative to create Sweden's largest crayfish farm was presented in 2013 but failed after only five years, official sources report. Since then, the farm has mostly constituted an environmental problem, according to those sources. Why the crayfish farm initiative failed after five years is not specified, and the current status of the facility—whether it is still operational, abandoned, or being dismantled—has not been confirmed.
It is leaking from the facility and it risks ruining the Kila River.
How local residents and the environmental administration have been specifically affected over the past six years also remains uncertain.
