This has taken its toll. Over the past week, the phones have been ringing off the hook at water and sewerage companies, which have been inundated with enquiries from desperate homeowners with no water coming from their taps, showers or toilets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s absolute chaos. I\u2019m sitting in my home office and the phone just won\u2019t stop ringing. We received 200 enquiries this weekend alone,\u201d says Bj\u00f8rn Guldberg, managing director of Vitek Milj\u00f8, when TV 2 calls.\u00a0 The prolonged cold spell has caused a great deal of frost and ground frost, leading to ice forming in a number of water pipes around the city and elsewhere in Western Norway.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1249\" style=\"width: 2516px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tv2.no\/a\/11931750\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1249\" class=\"wp-image-1249 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vitek.no\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/sprengkulde_tv2_vitek.jpg\" alt=\"Freezing cold - TV2\" width=\"2506\" height=\"1379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vitek.no\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/sprengkulde_tv2_vitek.jpg 2506w, https:\/\/vitek.no\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/sprengkulde_tv2_vitek-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vitek.no\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/sprengkulde_tv2_vitek-768x423.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vitek.no\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/sprengkulde_tv2_vitek-1024x563.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vitek.no\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/sprengkulde_tv2_vitek-1536x845.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vitek.no\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/sprengkulde_tv2_vitek-1920x1057.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2506px) 100vw, 2506px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1249\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Report on the bitter cold, TV2, Vitek<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tv2.no\/nyheter\/11931750\/?fbclid=IwAR1Q3Lyv3qsJ1sNpmc7F64FGLObApXCloy1T6hxFwJfcWNRUQ9OVJpLavmA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch the report on tv2.no<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tv2.no\/nyheter\/11931750\/?fbclid=IwAR1Q3Lyv3qsJ1sNpmc7F64FGLObApXCloy1T6hxFwJfcWNRUQ9OVJpLavmA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Source: TV2<\/em><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The prolonged cold spell has led to a flood of calls and 15-hour working days for water and sewerage operators.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1131,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[88],"class_list":["post-1130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aktuelt","tag-tining-av-ror"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitek.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1130","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitek.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitek.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitek.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitek.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1130"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/vitek.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1130\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1292,"href":"https:\/\/vitek.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1130\/revisions\/1292"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitek.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitek.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitek.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitek.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
