The major water emergency that occurred overnight in the area of ​​"Skobeleva Maika" in Plovdiv turned out to be much more serious than initially expected and really threatens that entire areas of Plovdiv will be left without water during the night and tomorrow, or at least with a greatly reduced water supply, the Water and Sewer Administration admitted , quoted by BNR. 

Due to the negligence of a construction company, a key component of a water main that supplies water to the entire city has been severed. 

Due to the scale of the problem, it is expected that the water supply will be gradually stopped this evening in the regions "Trakiya", "Iztochen" and parts of "South", which are fed by this source and the pumps along the route. 

Outside the specified areas on the high floors of blocks and cooperatives throughout the city, there is also a possibility of a complete water shutdown.

By 8 p.m., the water stopped in almost the entire "North" area, despite assurances that this part was not affected.

All available emergency teams of VK are working on the elimination of the accident, but it will certainly not happen tonight, and probably during the next day, the company announced. 

The advice of the experts is that citizens stock up on possible quantities for drinking and service needs, since a specific time frame for solving the problem cannot be specified. 

The "Trakia" region is most at risk of a complete water cutoff, warned the Water and Sewerage - Plovdiv.
