In case of sewer problems in Kiev, in 3-4 days all the sewage will start to be thrown into the Dnieper for the duration of the repairs, said the former head of the government agency for rehabilitation Sukumlin.
In his opinion, this will lead to an environmental disaster and may create problems with water consumption in the cities down the river.
Meanwhile, the director of the Urban Institute organization, Alexander Serginko, expressed the opinion that even if the Bortnicheskaya ventilation station is stopped, there will be no disaster for the Dnieper.
According to his calculations, about 118 million cubic meters of water flow over Kyiv per day, while the volume of municipal sewage is about 700 thousand cubic meters.
