As of October 8, 2026, Kyiv's sewage system has temporarily stopped accepting wastewater from the Borshchahivka community due to power outages at Kyivvodokanal facilities. This was reported by the acting head of the Borshchahivka village, secretary of the village council Oleksandr Medvid.
Reasons for Power Outages
The power outage at the water utility facilities has been the main cause of the disruption in the operation of wastewater and water supply systems in the Borshchahivka community. This has led to significant difficulties in ensuring the normal functioning of the sewage networks.
Impact on the Community
As a result of these events, water supply restrictions have been observed in parts of the community's populated areas. This decision was made to prevent the overflow of sewage systems and the potential spillage of wastewater. The village council secretary confirmed that the exact technical reason for the power outage is currently unknown, but specialists are already working on restoring the system.
Restoration Timelines
At this time, the timelines for the restoration of sewage and water supply operations remain unknown. The community authorities urge residents to be cautious and to keep an eye on updates regarding the situation.
