January 22 is a shortened working day, said the so-called head of the city occupied by Muscovites in 2014, Mikhail Razvozhaev.
According to him, problems with water supply in the city arose due to heavy rainfall and warming temperatures.
A lot of snow fell, and literally within a day 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 1970s,” Razvozhaev said.
It takes more time to process dirty water, which is why residents of Sevastopol are already faced with a lack of water. The Russian Gauleiter said that the authorities had decided to stop water intakes and clean the water supply system, after which it would take more than 50 hours for the system to be filled and water to reach all houses.
Razvozhaev clarified that there will be no water in the city until 9:00 on January 23. Then it will be turned on for two hours, after which it will be turned off again until the evening of January 24.
At the same time, water may not reach all houses in the city, because “the water supply scheme in Sevastopol is secret and one of the most complex in Russia.”
There are high pressure, medium pressure and gravity water pipelines. On one street there may be all three types of water pipelines, so when water is periodically supplied to one house, water will reach, but not to another, Razvozhaev wrote.
On the night of January 19, a third of the monthly rainfall fell in Sevastopol, as a result of which dozens of houses and garden plots in several settlements of the Balaklava municipal district were flooded. In addition, several settlements were left without electricity due to a substation outage.
