According to the city administration, the heating networks in this area have been in operation since 1974 and 1986, which significantly exceeds the established service life norms. The wear and tear of the equipment has become one of the reasons that led to this incident.
During the repair process, there may be temporary restrictions on the supply of thermal energy in the southern part of the capital. The enterprise is actively working to complete the repairs as quickly as possible and restore stable heating supply. The completion dates for the repairs will be announced later.
In the morning, the section of April 7th street was enveloped in thick steam caused by the break in a hot water pipe. This led to a significant reduction in visibility, and drivers were forced to slow down. Videos from the scene quickly spread on social media.
