About the project

The City of Oslo has only one main source of drinking water. This makes the capitol’s water supply very vulnerable. Therefore, The City of Oslo builds a new drinking water supply from Holsfjorden and a new water treatment plant and distribution network in Oslo. When the facilities are completed, Oslo will have a complete and robust reserve water supply.
