A water hammer breaks pipes. Energy commander.
"When it seems to you that your light flickered and now everything "definitely should work", you have to understand: for large and complex equipment of stations and boiler houses, this is a devastating effect," the mayor of Dnipropetrovsk, Boris Piltov, explains to the citizens why the current that returns to the hour does not return water and heat with it. A sharp increase in voltage damages the pumps. The systems must be restarted and the consequences of the water hammer must be dealt with, and the excavated streets, the mayor assures, are an urgent replacement for the broken sections.

Dnipropetrovsk region.
The hardest point of the day. In the morning, more than 600,000 people were left without electricity in Dnepropetrovsk and four districts of the region. This is the city's second shutdown in two weeks. At 05:18 the metro stopped, its stations are now operating as shelters. All traction stations were stopped, therefore trams and trolleybuses do not operate on the line, and additional buses were placed on the lines. Traffic lights at central intersections are powered by batteries. The left bank receives water through generators, the right bank waits for energy workers. Okranergo promises to restore power to the entire region by the end of the day, but one at a time: the grid will not accommodate everyone at once.
Kyiv and Kyiv region have been under emergency shutdowns under the command of Okranergo since the morning hours. There is no need to open the 60-team schedule, published the day before. During the day, the capital was removed from the schedules for the second time in a day: at 15:09, emergency restrictions came into effect again. YASNO, the energy company that supplies Kyiv, declared a state of emergency for November 9. Klitschko yesterday called the situation with light, heat and water "extremely difficult".
