Is Ronneby Tap Water Safe To Drink?
Yes! The tap water is safe to drink.
Tap water supplied by Ronneby municipality is treated and monitored under Swedish drinking-water standards and is considered safe to drink. The municipal supply in Kallinge has been treated to reduce PFAS contamination associated with historical firefighting-foam use.
Private wells, especially around Kallinge and other areas affected by the former contamination, may still require separate PFAS testing. Municipal tap water and private well water should therefore be treated as different sources.

Source of Water in Ronneby, Sweden
Tap water in Ronneby is primarily produced at the Brantafors waterworks. The source is groundwater drawn from wells in the Brantafors area, which is naturally filtered through the surrounding soil and gravel.
Ronneby municipality also operates smaller local waterworks for communities outside the main urban area. These supplies generally use groundwater from nearby wells, so the exact source depends on the neighborhood.
Ronneby Drinking Fountains
Public drinking fountains in Ronneby are generally safe to use when they are marked as drinking-water fountains and are open for public use. The water supply is subject to Sweden’s strict drinking-water quality requirements.
Avoid fountains displaying a closure, maintenance, or non-potable-water notice. Let the water run briefly before drinking, especially if the fountain has not been used recently.
