The Drainage System – Works on the Inlets
Employees of Hafnarfjörður Sewerage and divers from Köfunarþjónustan Ltd. have completed the difficult task of cleaning the „Ósinn“ buffer tank of Hafnarfjörður Sewerage.
Staff from the Hafnarfjörður Sewerage Authority and divers from Köfunarþjónustan Ltd. have completed the difficult task of cleaning the „Channel“, the distribution tank of the Hafnarfjörður Sewerage Authority. The condition of the tank was much worse than had been expected, as one of the two knife-edge valves at its base was stuck and inoperative. Construction of pipe sections and other components has begun, but it is clear that their finishing and the entire project will take longer than planned.
The Sewerage emergency outfalls will therefore remain open for at least the next two weeks, and the town's residents are asked to apologise for this. Once these changes are complete, sewage overflows from the Krosseyri and Óseyri pumping stations will be virtually a thing of the past, occurring only in very rare exceptions.
