Lutsk expects 24 hours without electricity: hospitals on backup power, water supply restricted

City prepares for prolonged power supply disruption

Lutsk authorities are urging residents to be prepared for a lack of electricity for at least a day. This was stated by City Council Secretary Andriy Razumovskyi, who characterised the current situation as a difficult second day for the community.

«Електропостачання в місто відсутнє. Завершилася тривога, думаю, приступили до аналізу ситуації. Сподіватимемося, що найближчим часом світло відновлять. Але я думаю, що треба готуватися до 24 годин щонайменше, щоб бути готовими. Якщо включать швидше — слава Богу» (There is no electricity supply to the city. The air raid alert has ended, I think they have started analysing the situation. We hope that the power will be restored soon. But I think we need to prepare for at least 24 hours to be ready. If they switch it on sooner — thank God), the official emphasised.

Status of water supply and municipal services

Currently, all sewage systems are operating in normal mode. Water is being supplied to all facilities, but at reduced pressure.

«Тому на поверхах вище 2-3 можлива відсутність води» (Therefore, there may be no water on floors above the second or third), Andriy Razumovskyi explained.

Operation of medical facilities and transport

The city's hospitals have switched to operating on generators. Electric transport in Lutsk is not running until electricity supply is restored.

In the event that the energy supply situation does not improve, the city plans to launch resilience points.
