New Water Plant for Stockholm's Future Supply

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall (SVOA) proposes building a new water treatment plant on Lovön island to ensure the drinking water supply after 2045, as the current plants are old and in poor condition. The project is estimated to cost SEK 8.2 billion, potentially rising to SEK 10.6 billion due to inflation, and aims to meet future demands from population growth and climate change, though it faces complexities and risks of delays from planning and permit processes, including the need to repeal parts of a nature reserve on Lovön.
