Sometime after the rain the Dikanyovka waste water treatment plant was flooded as well, since it was designed to collect water from city s storm drain s along with sewage.

It took about a month to resume supply of treated tap water. During this period the local authorities established limited drink water distribution to organizations including hospitals and population.
