- HelloRipley 10y agoIsn't nokiankoski where someone mixed up the sewage in / drinking water out lines?
- ptaipale 10y agoJust the town of Nokia. In 2007 it turned out that years ago, someone had designed a stupid arrangement at the wastewater treatment facility where a freshwater pipe was used to flush the sewage side. But if a maintenance man left the tap on, and put the sewage process going, some of the sewage would go backwards, into the freshwater side. A couple of thousand people were infected by norovirus or campylobacteria. Highly unusual. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_water_supply_contamination https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_water_supply_contaminati...

- Nullabillity 10y agoSame company. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokian_Tyres https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokian_Tyres : > A three-company merger formed the Nokia Corporation in 1967; Nokian Tyres Limited was established in 1988 as a joint venture company split from the conglomerate as Nokia Corporation started focusing entirely on the mobile communications business.
