In Oslo municipality, a cooking recommendation has been sent out to around 25,000 residents in the areas of Røa, Bogstad, Voksen skog, Midtstuen, Vettakollen, Voksenåsen, Holmenkollen and Tryvann.
In Bærum municipality, the recommendation has been sent to around 46,000 residents in Eiksmarka, Østerås, Jar, Hosle, Haslum, Bekkestua and Nadderud.
– From and including 20 September at 16 everyone in the areas of Røa, Bogstad, Voksen skog, Midtstuen, Vettakollen, Voksenåsen, Holmenkollen and Tryvann is asked to boil their drinking water. This means that all water that goes into the mouth must be boiled first. This applies to water that is to be drunk, but also water that is, for example, used in coffee machines, for ice cubes or to brush teeth with, the municipalities write.

They write that the reason for the boiling recommendation is the discovery of local contamination in water samples from the area.
– This can make people ill, and for safety’s sake, the municipality is therefore asking everyone who is within the area to boil their water. All those affected have been notified by SMS, they write.
It is not clear now that the cooking recommendation will be lifted, but it will happen on Saturday 23 September at the earliest.
