What is known about the breakthrough of the water main in Borshchagivka

According to the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA) press service, damage to the cold water supply network with water leaking onto the roadway occurred on Jules Verne Boulevard.

The application for damage was received by the control room of Kyivvodokanal on January 7 at 10:55 p.m. An emergency crew arrived at the scene, shut off the water and contained the leak. 2 residential buildings remained without water.

Specialists of Kyiv Avtodor are working to eliminate the consequences of flooding and pollution of the roadway.

After that, the emergency crew of Kyivvodokanal will start repairing the water supply.

Regarding the emergency situation and difficult weather conditions, road workers carry out additional street treatment to ensure safe traffic.

In addition, it is emphasized that the work will be carried out in the green zone, without traffic restrictions.

We emphasise that there was a leak of cold water. We ask the media and bloggers not to manipulate and spread false information, getting involved in dirty attacks on the city authorities and communal services, which in the current conditions are doing everything to ensure the vitality of the capital.

Despite this, Kyiv Telegram channels claim that there was a large-scale sewerage break, and Jules Verne Boulevard was allegedly flooded with faeces.
