‼ Ukraine is facing "water outages": outages may be prolonged Energy expert Stanislav Ignatiev warned that the prolonged water supply outages that occurred recently in Kyiv may return. According to him, shutting down pumping stations for 8-10 hours will require about three more hours to restore pressure in the system. At the same time, a stable power supply is required to restart the pumps for the three hours. Otherwise, the restoration of the water supply may be delayed. Caravans: |.
