The development of a Water and wastewater strategy and a Water-and wastewater-business plan, for the development until the year 2030 is underway in cooperation with consultants. The work has been demanding and will further require a lot of resources and working hours from the technical department. The plan for water and waste water will be split into a storm-water plan, an expansion plan, a “DUF”-plan (operation/maintenance/renewal), a water protection plan, a plan for single household supply and a fire- and fire-extinguish water-plan.
