One of our most sophisticated automation systems for water treatment can be found at Fjärås in Kungsbacka Municipality. At the Fjärås Bräcka glacial ridge, millions of liters of water are pumped up from Lake Lygnern to Fjärås Bräcka to benefit from the purifying properties of this ancient boulder ridge. The water is filtered and purified almost entirely naturally through the area’s gravel and boulder clay before being supplied as one of Sweden’s best tasting and highest quality drinking waters to the 70,000 households of Kungsbacka Municipality.

Fjärås Bräcka is a mighty ice ridge formation that rises 60 meters above Lake Lyngern. This huge gravel and moraine embankment was formed at the end of the last ice age and is today a nature reserve with fine hiking trails. There is also the water treatment plant, which uses the laws of nature to purify the water that is delivered to Kungsbacka’s residents.
