Water supply was turned off in Sevastopol. Monday was announced as a shortened day, January 23 and 24 - days off. Official reason: melted snow caused groundwater to rise, the water became 60 times dirtier

About local residents reported the lack of water in the city ASTRA. The governor of annexed Sevastopol said that due to the emergency situation, the working day in Sevastopol is shortened from 1 p.m. today, tomorrow and Wednesday are days off. In kindergartens, according to him, only duty groups will work.

“A lot of snow fell, and literally within 24 hours it melted. There was a sharp influx of dirty water from the mountains into the Chernaya River, and groundwater rose. The indicators were exceeded almost hundreds of times. The last time a similar natural situation occurred in Sevastopol was in the 70s. Due to the rise of rivers and mudflows, the level of water turbidity has sharply increased: if normally the suspended matter is 1.5 mg per liter, now it has increased to 58 mg per liter. That is, the water has become almost 60 times dirtier. With such turbidity of water, the rate of water treatment sharply deteriorates. That is why we stop water intakes and clean the system. <…> To fill the entire system to 120 thousand cubic meters, and for the water to reach everyone, it takes more than 50 hours. We made a decision: there will be no water until 9 am tomorrow. On Tuesday morning, water will be supplied from 9:00 to 11:00. It may not reach some houses - for the reason I described above. There will be no water from 11:00 January 23 until 20:00 Wednesday, January 24. This forced shutdown of the system, necessary for the accumulation and sanitary purification of water, will allow us to provide water as normal on the evening of January 24th. If we continue to supply water periodically, the process may drag on for a week or more. I ask everyone to treat the situation with understanding. Everyone who can should stock up on water,” Razvozhaev wrote.
