The Iskretska River, which dried up on Monday and caused the region of Svoge to remain without water supply, is once again flowing in its bed.
"Last night at 6 p.m. the river was unblocked and the water flow resumed. We are starting to include it in the system of the city's water transmission network", Deputy Mayor of Svoge Valentin Mihailov told BNR. According to him, currently the water cannot be used for drinking, as it takes time for its fluoridation and for cleaning of the pipes. All this will take at least 24 hours. However, tons of dead fish that the flash drought left also remain a problem.
According to the state-owned electric company NEK, the river dried up because of seasonal factors.
On Saturday, the lowest temperatures will be between 0 and 5°C; in Sofia - it will be around 0°C. During the day it will be mostly sunny. In the Danube Plain it will be foggy. Until noon it will also be foggy along the river..
