Georgian Water and Power reports that the damaged sections of the main water supply pipeline near the village of Tsitsamuri have been restored.
The company says water supply will be gradually restored to users.
“Damaged sections of the central main water supply pipeline near the village of Tsitsamuri have been restored. The pipeline is being flushed, after which the network will begin to be filled with laboratory-tested, high-quality drinking water,” GWP stated.
“Filling the central main pipeline with drinking water is a difficult and complex process, needing a high pressure load of water in the pipeline. After filling the network, the technical teams of GWP will start observing the full perimeter of the pipeline and related networks, and will technically monitor the new connection points to assess the stability of the restored pipeline against water the pressure load.”
Georgian Water and Power says the technical teams were carrying out restoration works of the central main water supply pipeline in the vicinity of the village of Tsitsamuri, from June 17, working 24 hours a day.
