As a result of the incident, cold water supply was cut off in six multi-apartment buildings. To provide residents with drinking water, its delivery was organized — a tank truck was placed near building No. 52 on Lenin Street.
According to "Vitebskvodokanal", repair work is planned to begin at 23:00, when traffic intensity decreases. Authorities also warned that during the repair and for the next 24 hours, water quality might deteriorate.
Earlier, a similar situation occurred in Minsk, but there on January 19, a heating main was damaged, resulting in the loss of hot water. The elimination of this accident dragged on for several days; heating and hot water supply were fully restored only by January 22.
