Available house plots
Hämeenlinna has house plots available both in the city centre and in the villages. All city plots have municipal infrastructure ready, so you can start building quickly.
Electricity
The electricity market is open, and you can freely purchase electricity from any electricity company. Electricity distribution in the Hämeenlinna area is handled by the network service company Elenia.
Water
Domestic water is obtained from a private well or the municipal water supply network. In Hämeenlinna, the municipal water supply network is maintained by Hämeenlinnan Seudun Vesi Oy, or HS-Vesi. It is responsible for water procurement and distribution as well as wastewater discharge and treatment in its service area.
Preparedness
In life, it is important to prepare for various disruptions as well. These can include anything from storms and floods to prolonged power outages.
Everyone should be prepared to manage independently in their homes for at least three days in the event of a disruption (www.72tuntia.fi/en). You should have food, water and medication stored at home for three days.
It is also important to be familiar with the basics of preparedness—for example, where to get reliable information in an emergency and how to cope during a prolonged water or power outage.
