Kyivvodokanal has resumed accepting wastewater following a power outage

Due to a power outage at Kyivvodokanal facilities, problems arose with the operation of the capital’s wastewater and water supply systems. In particular, the intake of wastewater from the Borshchahivka community into Kyiv’s sewer networks was temporarily suspended. 

The Borshchahivka Village Council reported that, due to the power outage at Kyivvodokanal facilities, it was impossible to accept wastewater into the city’s sewer system as usual.

It was later reported that “Kyivvodokanal” had resumed accepting wastewater into Kyiv’s sewer system.

The situation affected the operation of the wastewater and water supply systems. The timeline for the full restoration of the sewer and water supply systems will be announced once confirmed information is received.

This was reported by Oleksandr Medvid, secretary of the Borshchahivka Village Council.
