A new blackout occurred in Dnipro, leaving the city completely without electricity, water, and heat. The mayor of the city, Borys Filatov, explained the consequences of the incident in his Telegram channel.
As Filatov noted, over the last two weeks Dnipro has faced a second large-scale blackout. He stressed that Russian shelling continues, and the relevant services are doing everything possible to restore critical infrastructure facilities to working order as soon as possible.
According to him, due to the lack of voltage on traction substations, the movement of trams, trolleybuses, and the metro trains had to be completely halted. To transport passengers, the city authorities organized additional bus routes that are intended to partially replace electric transport.
At the same time, metro stations remain accessible to residents and can be used as shelters. They continue to accept people and stationary resilience points. If the situation worsens, the authorities are ready to additionally deploy mobile aid points.
Filatov said that the utilities have already managed to normalize the operation of the sewer system. On the left-bank part of the city, water supply is gradually being restored with the use of generators. The mayor assured residents that water supply will be provided. Meanwhile, on the right bank, specialists continue restoring power.
The situation with heat supply remains difficult. Emergency crews are trying to restore the heating infrastructure and launch the necessary facilities. The mayor explained that the operation of water supply systems directly depends on electricity availability. In turn, water is needed to operate heating networks, as it serves as a heat carrier. Due to power outages, pumping equipment and boiler houses have to be restarted. Additional difficulties are created by hydraulic shocks and pipe damage, which require urgent repair and replacement of certain sections.
- Now, with heroic efforts of heat service workers, we are trying to "raise" the heating. And the water utility, which has dug holes around the city, does this not because they want to, but because pipes rupture and must be replaced, he emphasized.
Despite power outages, important city facilities continue to operate. Traffic lights at the most congested intersections are powered by battery backups. Hospitals are equipped with autonomous power sources and necessary reserves, so medical care is provided in standard mode.
7 November Chernihiv plunged into a blackout after shelling by the Russian Federation: the city without electricity, electric transport halted.
17 October Vinnytsia remained completely without electricity after a massive attack by Russia.
