Norran's reporter interviewed Sofia Andersson Lundberg, program director at Sara kulturhus, about the water leak.

– We had to evacuate the part of the building that was affected (by the burst water pipe). It became very slippery there; there is a lot of water, she told Norran's reporter Tinika Häggström.

A staircase that serves as a staff entrance has been closed. Sara, however, remains open to visitors.

– At the moment we are keeping the rest of the building open, says Andersson Lundberg.

The extensive program for Pride Week is unlikely to be affected by the water leak.

– Our operations manager is keeping an eye on the situation and she thinks we can continue as planned. Everyone is welcome as usual, she says.
