June 3, 2022 at 09:38 Water use in Oslo has declined After Oslo Municipality sent out a text message asking residents to use less water, consumption has fallen by 10-15 percent in the last month. It shows new figures from the municipality. – I am very happy and grateful that people have taken the social responsibility in the demanding situation we are in with having enough water for the city, says section leader Frode Hult in the water and sewerage department to news. May is the high season for car washing and garden irrigation, and is usually the month of the year when water consumption in Oslo is highest. Last year, consumption averaged 262 million liters per day, while this year’s May shows a decrease to 246 million liters. According to Hult, a lot of precipitation is required over a long period of time for the drinking water reservoirs in the field to be refilled. – The magazine filling is now at just over 69 percent, and normally for this year is 91. So it is far up there, he says. City councilor Raymond Johansen is happy that the people of Oslo step in when needed, and hopes everyone will continue the good work.
