Aluminium has been found in drinking water from Kyrkjebø Waterworks in Høyanger, prompting the municipality to establish an emergency team. The Norwegian Institute of Public Health (FHI) assessed the water and warned of potential health risks, particularly for children. The local health officer has imposed a ban on drinking the water and using it for cooking, though it can still be used for other purposes. Regular water testing will continue, and the municipality recommends health check-ups for children who have consumed the water since 2021.
