Why It Matters
The failure of the heat pipeline caused Kazimierzowska Street to be flooded with hot water and silt, which forced the road to be closed and heat supplies to be interrupted.
The fault occurred on Thursday after 11:00.
As RMF FM reporter Michał Radkowski, who was present at the scene, admits, the situation at ul. Kazimierzowska resembles the one he saw two years ago after the flood in Lower Silesia.
It's full of mud, sand on wheels and the bodies of parked cars. You can clearly see where the water mixed with soil reached - reports our journalist.
Some cars had to be towed so that employees of Veolia, which supplies heat to the affected area, could get there. They need to replace the heat pipe.
One of the residents reported that when she looked from her window, she thought she saw fog. In fact, it was a reaction caused by the contact of hot water with cold air.
It was impossible to cross the road, the water was three meters wide - our journalist heard.
Now the water is no longer on the road, but repair works may last until Friday at 11:00. And this means more hours for residents without heating and without hot water in the tap.
It is not known yet what damaged the heat pipeline. Kazimierzowska Street is closed from Rakowiecka to Narbutt.
