Disruption in Alva’s district heating distribution 5.-6.2.

During the weekend, there was a large-scale disruption in district heating distribution of Alva (electricity, water and district heat provider owned by the City of Jyväskylä), which affected several residential areas in Jyväskylä, including Savela and Kortepohja.

According to Alva, the reason was a equipment failure at the Keljonlahti power plant. The heat outage cooled the hot water in some places, but now the situation has returned to normal.
