The administrative court dismissed the apartment owners' appeal regarding a 2,000 mark fine for failing to keep tap water above 50 degrees Celsius. The Health Supervisory Board issued the penalty under Section 83 of the Health Care Act after finding that lower temperatures allowed harmful microorganisms to reproduce. The court upheld the decision, ruling that the statutory duty to maintain water temperature was clearly established and the fine was legally justified.

Asiakirjoihin liitetyn lääkintöhallituksen lausunnon mukaan

lämpimän veden lämpötilan alittaessa 50 astetta lukuisat

lämpökestoiset pieneliöt pystyvät lisääntymään, ellei vesijohtovesi

ole niin hyvin käsitelty, ettei siinä ole lisääntymiskykyisiä

pieneliöitä. Veden lämpötilan laskemisesta 50

asteen alapuolelle saattoi näin ollen aiheutua terveydellistä

haittaa. Asunto-osakeyhtiö ei ollut noudattanut valvontajaoston

päätöstä, jonka mukaan vesijohtoveden lämpötilan

tuli olla kaikkina vuorokaudenaikoina vähintään 50 astetta.

Valvontajaostolla oli terveydenhoitolain 83 §:n 2 momentin

nojalla ollut oikeus kehottaa yhtiötä moudattamaan edellä

mainittua päätöstä 2 000 markan sakon uhalla.
