Fourth day without water in the middle of winter.

This is how the residents of several Shumen villages live, which for the second time in a month remain without water for days.

A bTV team checked what the cause is and whether the problem will be solved soon.

An accident with the pump of the borehole, which supplies a total of three uninhabited places, leaves the people of Vasil Drumev without running water.

Without water in Plovdiv and the region

"The water has stopped for the fourth time in six months, for ten days each.

It was 12 days before Christmas.

On Friday, the water stopped, on Saturday and Sunday there was no reaction, they didn't even come to look," says Ivaylo Mitev.



"With three small children, it is terribly difficult for us to cope - the sinks are overflowing with dirty dishes, clothes, washing machines.

Excuse me in this winter time, how can clothes be dried at home alone.

Shall I send them to kindergarten in dirty clothes", says Pavlina Koleva.

"That's one of the biggest problems, maybe actually the biggest, after electricity.

There are both problems here, which have not been solved for years," says Antonia Paneva.

There is a water carrier in the center of the village, but it is actually unusable because the taps are frozen.

In this situation, everyone saves themselves, but the difficulties are mostly for the elderly.

Kostadin Raichev lives alone and without water it is difficult for him to cope with the daily tasks to serve his household.

"It's snowing outside, we go and melt some.

There's no water, you can't cope," says Kostadin Raichev.

The exact cause of the accident has not been specified because access to the well is extremely difficult.

Waterworks-Shumen explained that they are starting to build a road through agricultural fields to the borehole and it will not be clear when the residents of the three villages will have water again.
