In a large city in Sverdlovsk, water has started to be supplied for only a few hours a day.
On August 4, 2026, residents of Kamensk-Uralsky complained about interruptions in cold water supply. According to them, the problems began last Friday: water in the homes appears only for a few hours in the morning and evening, and its quality raises serious concerns.
Residents report that murky yellow water with a large amount of sand flows from the taps, making it impossible to use not only for drinking but also for washing, writes "KP-Ekaterinburg."
The administration of Kamensk-Uralsky explained that the restrictions are related to a sharp deterioration in the quality of water coming from the Nizhny-Sysert Reservoir after the floods. According to the city's head, Alexey Gerasimov, the color of the source water reached 460 degrees, and the iron content is also significantly exceeded. Cleaning now requires about five times more reagents than usual.
According to the mayor, the supplies of reagents are only enough for the volume of water currently supplied to the population on schedule. As a result, cold water supply is organized from 06:00 to 08:30 and from 19:00 to 22:00.
Authorities warn that even the supplied water does not currently meet the standards for color. It is recommended to filter and boil it before consumption.
In addition, in the neighborhoods where hot water supply is provided by heating cold water, a decision has been made to temporarily disconnect the supply of hot water.
