According to the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, a critical hydrological situation has developed in the Dniester River basin. In some sections, water levels have fallen to their lowest point since records began, the Odesa City Administration press service reported.
“In this regard, residents are urged to use drinking water responsibly and follow simple recommendations: use drinking water sparingly; whenever possible, minimize its use for technical and household purposes; and avoid unnecessary water consumption,” the statement said.
City residents are also asked to promptly report water leaks to those responsible for maintaining internal water networks so they can be repaired quickly. Where possible, residents are encouraged to use alternative water sources for watering green spaces, washing outdoor areas, and other purposes that do not require drinking water.
“Responsible use of water resources will help reduce pressure on the water supply system and contribute to preserving drinking water reserves,” the statement emphasized.
