Now city services are fighting with the consequences of bad weather. The city hall reported that a pumping equipment has been working in complex areas, only 12 units. Special “Borey” pumps are also involved – taking into account high performance, they are placed where you can closely pump water from the reduction in roads to the rainbone nearby.

The administration warns that, despite the efforts of the road workers, it is possible in the city difficulty in movementas the rain will continue:

“According to Gismeteo, today almost 30 mm of precipitation is predicted per day – this is a lot. If these precipitation is translated into a household language, then this is if you had three ten -liter buckets poured one square meter into an area, for example, in a wide basin. Monday and Tuesday are also expected to be rainy. And the first day without precipitation is predicted on Wednesday. ”

Recall that officials have repeatedly assured that the problem areas that were previously built without a downpour and usually flooded are becoming less and less every year. In recent years, in complex areas, either raining wells with pumping out, or connected with a storm sewer, which goes nearby and if it allows the relief. And all new roads in the city are now being built only with a storm. However, Krasnoyarsk drowns after almost every heavy rain.
