Boil Water Alert in Espoo: Safety Steps Now in Place | Finland Today | News in English

The health protection authority has announced a boil water advisory effective from April 28, 2026, at 21:30 for the following locations: Juvanmalmi, Kalajärvi, Lahnus, Luukki, Korpilampi, Niittymäki, Odilampi, Perusmäki, Pirttimäki and Punametsä.

The Helsinki Region Environmental Services Authority (HSY) disclosed the disruption in a news release.

Cause of Disruption

This disruption stems from a break in a water main within the region. As a result of decreased water pressure, it is necessary to boil drinking water as a safety precaution. Water pressure in the network is expected to be restored by Wednesday morning.

Temporary water distribution points will be set up at the following locations:

  • Perusmäen Puistotie 12
  • Ruskaniitty 4
