The boil warnings apply in the districts of Fyllingsdalen, Fana and Ytrebygda. This is reported by the security center in Bergen municipality. – In the area of Fana and towards Ytrebygda, just under 30,000 people are affected, and in Fyllingsdalen there are just over 14,000 people in the area by Oasen who are affected, says director of Bergen Vann, Magnar Sekse. All those affected have received an SMS notification to boil the water. – Nothing has been proven, but there is a risk that we may have gained insight into ditch water, says Sekse. Problematic water main The one water main break is in Kvernabekkvegen in Fana. – This is a line we have had problems with and breaks in the past. It is being repaired and we have work underway to renew that line, says Sekse. In Fyllingsdalen, the break is between a new and an old line. – Why it is happening now is difficult to say. Cooking for days? The Water Authority takes daily samples of the water, and two consecutive samples are needed to document that the water is safe to drink. – The first results will come tomorrow, and the next on Thursday. – So in any case the water will not be restored until Thursday? – We have not discussed it now, but will analyze how the water has been affected around the area, and make an assessment when we see the results from the first test round tomorrow, he says.
