Information about service

Apply for approval from the health protection authority responsible for municipal affairs.

Submit a written application to the Rovakaari environmental health care, for planned activities in the area of Rovaniemi, Ranua, Pello, Ylitornio or Kolari, using the application form (see website). The forms show the information needed for the notification, the mandatory attachments.

Please note! The form contains an expired postal address, primarily use the email address. If the application or attachments are in paper form, submit them to environmental health care in two (2) copies.

A facility is not allowed to supply household water unless their operations have been approved. Likewise, a wholesaler is not allowed to start its operations before an approval.

A facility must also request an approval if they plan on expanding or modifying their water abstraction or treatment significantly. They must also request an approval if the quality or distribution of water changes significantly.

The facility must submit an application regarding a change in their operations no later than 30 days before the change. The facility must not change its operations until the application has been approved.

If the operator is established in another EEA state and provides services in Finland on a temporary basis, they are required to have the same approvals as the operators established in Finland.

The application is processed for a fee in accordance with the rates for the Rovakaari environmental health care.
