Quote: "The enemy attacks and damage to the capital's energy infrastructure have left Kyivvodokanal's main water supply facilities without electricity. As a result, water supply across the city is currently temporarily unavailable."
Details: Kyivvodokanal assured residents that its experts are "working together with power engineers to resolve the situation and taking all possible measures to resume the capital's water supply as quickly as possible".
However, once power supply is resumed, it will take some time to restart the equipment, refill the water supply networks and stabilise the pressure.
"We will provide further updates on any changes in the situation," Kyivvodokanal said.
It reminded residents that the city has a network of public drinking water kiosks where they can collect drinking water. The locations of the nearest kiosks can be found on the Kyivvodfond municipal utility's website.
