Latest Nokia Water Sample Clean

The latest water samples from the town of Nokia show no sign of last November's sewage contamination, however, officials are not yet ready to give the tap water a clean bill of health.

The samples were taken on Monday. More tests need to be done to ensure the water is free from norovirus, which was found in an earlier water sample taken from the area of Koskenmäki.

Local environmental health chief Outi Lepistö says that until the norovirus tests are complete, authorities won't be able to make a decision on whether to lift the ban on drinking tap water.
