According to the Borshchahivka Village Council
According to the village council, the restrictions on the water supply are due to the temporary suspension of wastewater intake by «Kyivvodokanal». The acting village head Oleksandr Medvid He reported that the relevant services are working to restore the systems, and that the community is in contact with the relevant organisations.
The notices did not specify a date for the full resumption of wastewater treatment.
The water supply has started to return, but no details have been given regarding the drainage situation
The village council later reported that the water supply was gradually being restored in certain residential estates in Sofiivska Borshchahivka. According to Medvid, it will take some time to normalise the water pressure in the mains network.
Water supply and drainage are interlinked: when the network cannot handle the required volume of wastewater, the water supply may be restricted to prevent overloading.
