“During the elimination of equipment damage, additional defects were identified, which increased the time for emergency recovery work,” the Far Eastern Distribution Grid Company said in a statement. Initially, the repair work was planned to be completed by 18:00 local time (11:00 GMT), then the time was called 22:00, now the timing is not specified.
According to Primvodokanal, after the resumption of power supply to the pumping stations, “it will take at least 12 hours to fill the main water conduit with a diameter of 1200 mm and completely restore the cold water supply.” It follows that the south of Primorye will remain without water until the morning of September 29 at least.
In Vladivostok, the delivery of drinking and technical water by tankers to various addresses of the city has already been organized.
