Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB is proposed to approve a status report for the Stockholm's Future Wastewater Treatment (SFA) project in June 2026. This project, which includes closing the Bromma treatment plant and expanding the Henriksdal plant to serve approximately 1.6 million people by 2040, is proceeding as planned. Wastewater from Bromma is expected to be diverted to Henriksdal in 2028, with the Henriksdal plant fully completed by 2031 at a budget of 22.5 billion SEK.

Agenda items
The Board of Stockholm Vatten AB is recommended to approve a status report on quaternary treatment at Henriksdal wastewater treatment plant. This report details the implementation of a new treatment step to meet the EU's revised wastewater directive, which mandates the removal of pharmaceuticals and other micropollutants. The project has investigated three technical solutions based on activated carbon and ozone, and a pilot plant has been built at Henriksdal to test the most promising alternatives.
Stockholm Vatten AB proposes the construction of a new heating plant in Henriksdal to improve sludge treatment at the Henriksdal wastewater treatment plant. This project involves installing two heat pumps to recover process heat, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing climate impact, at an estimated cost of SEK 226 million with completion expected by 2029.
The Stockholm 12 Association is requesting an extended temporary grant of SEK 173,750 for October to December 2026. This funding will support their work at Mariatorget, providing conversational support and social activities for individuals with addiction. The Social Services Department proposes approving the grant to bridge the gap between their previous temporary funding and the operational grant they intend to apply for in 2027.
The Board of S:t Erik Tullhusen AB will review the first quarterly report and forecast for 2026. The company owns fully leased buildings at Stadsgårdskajen and Skeppsbron, home to Fotografiska Museum, other cultural activities, and restaurants. While current operations are being consolidated, the report indicates some deviations in rental income and costs compared to the budget.
The Board of Directors for S:t Erik Tullhusen AB will address a new detailed development plan for Tullhusen on Skeppsbron. They are proposed to instruct their CEO to sign an exploitation agreement with the Exploitation Committee and to make decisions on minor adjustments.
The board of Fastighets AB Godsfinkan will approve interim report 1 and forecast 1 for 2026, which details the company's financial performance and projections for the year. The property Godsfinkan 1 in Hammarby Sjöstad, containing both a school and offices, is slated for sale to Sisab in autumn 2025, with access planned for September/October 2026.
The board of Fastighets AB Charkuteristen is to approve the company's first quarterly report and forecast for 2026. The company owns land in the Slakthusområdet, specifically the leasehold Isterbandet 6, where a building with approximately 2,200 square meters of office space is leased to the labor market administration. A zoning plan process is underway in the area, where the company plans for a building right of 7,000 square meters.
The board of Svenska Bostäder is advised to approve the final report for the new construction at kvarteret Mangon 1 on Södermalm. This project delivered 169 new apartments, a municipal preschool, and two commercial spaces, and despite delays due to the general contractor's financial issues and partially met customer satisfaction and environmental goals, it proved to be a very successful financial endeavor.
A motion was submitted to the municipal council proposing a permanent northbound lane for car traffic on Skanstullsbron. The motion, by Therese Lindström (M), argues that the rebuilding of Skansbron has caused queues and congestion, requiring a permanent solution to improve accessibility for all traffic types. Several bodies, including the City Management Office and the Traffic Committee, advise against the proposal, believing an additional car lane wouldn't improve flow due to capacity limits at the Skanstull intersection and would worsen safety and accessibility for thousands of daily cyclists and pedestrians. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be answered in line with these statements, meaning the proposal should not be implemented.
Therese Lindström (M) has posed an interpellation to Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) regarding the "traffic chaos" in southern Stockholm, questioning why several major roadworks impacting accessibility at Gullmarsplan, Hammarby, and Skansbron are planned simultaneously. Strömgren replied that total disruptions are unavoidable during infrastructure projects, but the Traffic Office is working intensively on coordination and demanding safety and accessibility during construction.
André Nilsson (L) has proposed that the City investigate the possibility of creating an artificial surf wave in Slussen, aiming to boost recreation, tourism, and activity in the city center. While several committees confirmed technical feasibility, they emphasized prioritizing Slussen's function for water regulation and boat traffic. Further investigations into safety, economics, and environmental impact are required.
A motion from Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed expanding Hammarbybacken with a new summit and raising the existing one using excavation spoil from subway construction, aiming to create a larger facility for both winter and summer sports. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing a lack of surplus spoil and the area's high natural values that must be considered.
Councilor Nike Örbrink (KD) proposed allowing seniors to consume their own alcohol at the city's open meeting points. However, the City Executive Office and Social and Senior Citizen Committees advise against this, as current alcohol legislation would prevent the sale of non-alcoholic beverages and necessitate a serving permit, impacting the meeting points' social and health-promoting mission. While the City Council rejects the proposal based on these concerns, the Södermalm District Council has decided to pilot the idea at Lusthuset Hornstull during specific hours when it's closed to the public.
Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed in a motion to develop Stadsgårdskajen with new buildings overdecking the traffic route, including 180 homes, 25,000 sqm of offices and shops, a pedestrian path, park, marina, open-air bath, and waterside stage. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing ongoing large-scale projects in the area, and that Naddebo's proposal would entail significant risks and costs, while negatively impacting national interests in cultural heritage and shipping.
The City Council is set to consider approving Familjebostäder AB's renovation of 178 homes and twelve commercial premises in the Draget 1 property on Södermalm. This 434-million-kronor project is necessary as the building's plumbing, electricity, and elevators, dating back to 1924, have reached the end of their technical lifespan. Existing tenants will be temporarily relocated during construction and will then have the option to choose from three different kitchen renovation levels, with some components potentially being reused.
The City Council will decide on an agreement with the Nobel Center Foundation to construct a Nobel Center at Slussen, specifically at Hamnmästaren 1 in Södermalm. This center, built atop a deck over Stadsgårdsleden, will feature exhibitions, school programs, and meeting spaces, with many areas accessible without an entrance fee. The Exploitation Committee proposes approving the agreement to finalize the Slussen project and enhance Stockholm's reputation as a knowledge city and tourist destination.
This item concerns the notification of several delegation decisions, including Lex Sarah reports for both municipal and private operations. It also covers decisions to deny a request for the erasure of personal data and to report a personal data incident to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY).
The Södermalm District Council will review its first quarterly report for 2026, which projects a surplus of 65 million SEK. The council is recommended to approve the report and request a budget adjustment of 0.4 million SEK to renovate premises for out-of-hours childcare. Concurrently, the council requests to return 1.5 million SEK in climate investment funds for Tantolunden, as some planned measures there could not be implemented.
Södermalm District Administration has reviewed an application for a serving permit for restaurant LuckyOrNot at Varvsgatan 8. The administration proposes that the district committee approves the application, allowing the restaurant to serve alcohol to the public Monday through Sunday from 5 PM to 11 PM. This decision is based on a social and preventive assessment where no obstacles were identified.
