At night, a serious sewerage break occurred on Borshchagovka in Kyiv; as a result of the accident, Jules Verne Boulevard was flooded, the network reported.
Pictures of flooded roads and cars appeared on Telegram channels. People complained about the unpleasant smell and were worried that the low temperature would cause everything to freeze by morning. It is worth noting that it is now -11° in Kyiv.
Subsequently, the Kyiv City State Administration stated that the water supply in Borshchagovka was damaged, and specialists from Kievvodokanal and Kievavtodor were working on the site. The damage was reported at 10:55 p.m., and the water utility's emergency crew subsequently shut off the water. As a result of the accident, two residential buildings were left without water.
“Now Kievavtodor specialists are working on site to eliminate flooding and pollution of the roadway and to enable the emergency crew of Kievvodokanal to begin repairing the water supply system. Taking into account the emergency situation and difficult weather conditions, road workers are carrying out additional treatment of the street to ensure safe traffic movement,” the message says. .
It is noted that the work will be carried out in the green zone, without restricting traffic. The Kyiv City State Administration notes that there was a leak of cold water.
