Water supply stable across DPR – Ministry of Construction

Donetsk, Apr 8 – DAN. DPR water supply facilities are functioning as normal, the Deputy Minister of Construction and Public Utilities Vitaliy Kizhayev said.

“According to situation reports from local administrations, all water facilities are operating and supplying water to custmers.”

Earlier Ukraine announced plans to discontinue power supply to the Voda Donbassa water company and terminate the existing contracts citing the company’s debts. The move would have resulted in the lack of water supply across Donbass and an environmental disaster.  Later the decision was recalled.

Nevertheless, water supply was erratic on April 3 in Dokuchayevsk after power supply to Severskiy Donets – Donbass (SDD) water pipe facilities was disconnected, the city emergencies line said. *ot
