🚱 No Water at All?

1️⃣ Check the LifeX App 📱

  • We announce any planned water cuts as soon as we get updates from our landlords. Check the app for the latest info! 📲

2️⃣ Is It the Whole Apartment or Just Certain Rooms? 🏠

  • Does the entire apartment have no water, or is it only certain rooms? This will help us identify the issue faster!


💧 HOFOR: Danish National Water Supplier

HOFOR is the official water supplier for Copenhagen. Here’s how to check if your apartment is affected:

  • Visit HOFOR's website to check the current status of maintenance work in your area.

  • Type in your home address in the search bar to see if there are any updates related to your apartment.

  • If your apartment is in an affected area, you’ll be able to see when the water is expected to return by clicking on the dot on the map.

⚠️ Important: Some breakdowns or emergency closures might not appear on the map. If you can’t find the info you need, you can reach out to HOFOR's emergency line at:
📞 +45 38 88 24 24
They’ll have more details about ongoing issues.

Note: Interruptions to the water supply can sometimes lead to temporary discolouration or changes in taste, but it’s harmless! 💧


😭 No Info from HOFOR? It Might Be an Internal Issue!

If no outage is reported on HOFOR’s map, the problem could be due to an urgent issue in your building, like a broken water pipe that needs immediate repair.

In this case, LifeX cannot directly fix the issue, but here’s what you can do:

  • Talk to your neighbours: If others are affected, someone might have already reported the issue to the landlord.

  • Contact LifeX: Let us know via the LifeX app, and we’ll keep track of the situation.


🔥 No Hot Water? Here’s How to Fix It!

If your water is running but not hot, follow these steps:

🛠️ 1. Check If Hot Water Works in Other Rooms

  • Try multiple taps (kitchen, bathroom, shower) to see if the issue is isolated.

2. Give It Some Time!

  • Sometimes, the system needs a few minutes to reset after maintenance or an outage.
