According to emergency services, the alarm came in at around 4:30 AM on Monday morning. The rescue service cordoned off the site, and one lane was initially closed in the eastbound direction during the morning. Stormwater wells were dug out in the snowbanks to remove water from the road.
During the morning, the municipality's technical division managed to shut off the water. The street is now open for traffic again. According to Richard Axelsson, work leader at Nyköping Water, two large properties are without water.
In addition to private individuals, municipal operations and a charter school are affected. The cause of the water issue has not been determined, and it is unclear how many private individuals are impacted. The specific municipal operations and charter school affected have not been identified.
