Kyiv authorities explained the cause of the flood

This is not the first “flood” .

Today in Kyiv – flood after heavy rain, city streets “drowned”. Users of social networks actively share photos and videos floating on the roads of cars, flooded underpasses and freeways. The city is literally paralyzed.

Despite the fact that this is not the first “flood” in recent days (albeit the strongest). Kiev consistently “filled” a few days ago, even from a small short-time rains. Also, such a situation on roads of Kiev consistently watch every spring when the snow melts.

The reason for flooding the streets of Kiev – the antiquated storm sewer system, which simply cannot cope with the drainage of water in such quantity.

“The problem with the flooding caused due to old storm water drain network in the city. Many of them were made quite a long time and worn out. Despite the fact that we carry out repairs. We do replacements, and cleaning regularly, and when we carry out repairs on the resurfacing of the road, we change and storm drains including,” – said in comments to “the Country” Dmitry Davtyan.
