Request or Cancel a Malfunction Report
Every now and again water distribution must be interrupted to ensure the long-term functionality of the water supply network. We notify of all distribution interruptions ahead of time so you may prepare for them. We will also send text messages in cases of sudden and unexpected malfunctions.
You may also receive a malfunction report as a voice message to a landline phone or via email. You may choose these options in the electronic form.
The Message is sent Automatically to Public Phone Numbers
The message is sent automatically to all persons over 16 years old whose phone number and address are public in the Oulu region. Your phone number will be recorded into our system, and you will receive the messages automatically. This does not require action from you. If you do not wish to receive messages, you may remove your phone number from our system on the Finnish side of this website.

You have denied your operator from sharing your address
-
Your phone subscription is private or prepaid

Malfunction Report Request Form (in Finnish)
Where did you get my information?
All information is received from Profinder, which is a digital phone directory.
Why did I receive a message even though I have moved?
Please check the address listed on your phone invoice – it is possible that your operator has not updated your address.
Where is my recorded information going? Where can I read the privacy policy?
We do not use the recorded phone numbers for anything else than informing about possible water distribution malfunctions or interruptions. The phone numbers are not sold or handed over and they are stored on a password-secured server which is only open to people using the text message system.

If I withdraw from the service, will my information stay in the system?
