Securing Stockholm's future drinking water

Stockholm Vatten AB intends to construct a new waterworks on Lovön, as current facilities are aging and cannot guarantee drinking water supply beyond 2045. The project is estimated at approximately 8.2 billion SEK, with a total budget of up to 10.6 billion SEK to account for risks and inflation. This initiative aims to secure future drinking water quality and capacity for the Stockholm region amidst population growth and climate change. Construction involves revoking a portion of the Lovön nature reserve and land acquisition, carrying risks of delays and cost increases.
