A total of municipally owned NVA, Norrköping water and waste, invest SEK 150 million over ten years.
Yesterday, Wednesday, was demonstrated the first of the new facilities to be built, called a delay magazine with a översvämningsyta. In torrential rain the water will be able to flow into the delay compartment that can hold 110 to 120 cubic meters. It has also built a sedimentation pond and a trench filled with coarse aggregate. These measures will reduce the flow of Pjältån there the water flows more slowly in new storm sewers.
