High Water Levels Threaten Bureå Properties

Published: 2024-05-17

Water levels are rising in Christer Olsson's yard in Bureå, Skellefteå, due to high levels in the Bure River.

The water has been rising for a week and is expected to continue over the weekend.

SMHI has extended its high flow warning through the weekend.

Christer noted that it has been ten years since the water was this high on his property.

The MSB has sent sandbags to northern Västerbotten to help manage the flooding.
