Irpin in Kyiv region temporarily switches to twice-daily water supply
In the Kyiv region, temporary restrictions are being introduced in the provision of municipal services due to problems with electricity supply.
In particular, in Irpin, water will be supplied according to a schedule due to a lack of electricity needed for the stable operation of the pumping stations. The Irpinvodokanal municipal utility company made the relevant statement.
Water supply schedule in Irpin
Irpinvodokanal said that water will temporarily be supplied to city residents twice a day. This schedule will remain in effect until the electricity supply is fully restored.
Water will be supplied at the following times:
-
from 06:00 to 09:00 a.m.;
-
from 6:00 to 9:30 p.m.
The company stressed that once the electricity situation is stabilized, water supply will return to its usual mode.
"After the electricity supply is restored, water supply will be resumed in regular mode," Irpinvodokanal said.
Electricity supply situation in Kyiv
The Energy Ministry says it currently cannot forecast the timeline for restoring a stable electricity supply in Kyiv. According to Deputy Energy Minister Mykola Kolisnyk, the most difficult situation remains in the capital region.
He explained that the hourly outage schedules published earlier are not being applied yet. Instead, emergency schedules are in effect due to significant damage to energy infrastructure.
Emergency repair work is ongoing around the clock. Specialists are working in difficult weather conditions, trying to stabilize the system as quickly as possible. At the same time, the ministry acknowledges that due to enemy attacks, making accurate forecasts is not yet possible.
