The recommendation to boil water has been issued due to a pipeline break occurred on Friday 22nd of June. The boil water recommendation has been issued by Jyväskylän Energia as the water supply service. The recommendation was issued at 11 am June 23rd 2018 as a precautionary safety measure.
The following instructions must be followed when using tap water:
• Unboiled tap water must not be consumed: all water used for cooking or drinking must be boiled. This also applies to rinsing foodstuffs, such as lettuce.
• A quick simmer is not enough: water must be boiled for 5–10 minutes.
• However, unboiled water can still be used, for example, for shower, the laundry or for washing, if its colour and smell are normal.
The boil water recommendation is valid until further notice. Jyväskylän Energia will notify of its ending. Information is given on the websites of the City of Jyväskylä and Jyväskylän Energia on www.jyvaskyla.fi and www.jyvaskylanenergia.fi. Jyväskylän Energia will also inform the local media of its ending.
