To meet the future requirements to drinking water quality, Asker and Bærum waterworks will construct a new facility to treat crude water at Kattås in Bærum.
The current facility at Kattås draws its crude water from Holsfjorden.
Given the colour recordings in Holsfjorden is rising and sometimes more than the recommendations of the drinking water regulations, a new treatment plant is required to be constructed.
