Fecal water has flooded the basements of four blocks in the “Manastirski Livadi“ district in Sofia. Instead of festive preparations around Christmas, people were forced to pump out wastewater, bTV reports.
During repairs to the main sewer collector, the contractor company failed to connect the main waste pipe to the block.
So on Christmas Eve - on December 24, people from the blocks found that their basements and garages were flooded with dirty water.
Only “Sofiiska voda“ responded to the emergency call and sent a team to drain.
The company confirmed that the company that carried out the repair did not connect several apartment blocks to the main bypass pipe.
On December 25, the block was connected to the sewerage system. However, the residents of the affected cooperatives complain about frequent water outages in December, sometimes for more than 24 hours, and muddy roads due to the repair.
A position to bTV from the “Triaditsa“ region explained that fines have been imposed and that work on the site is currently temporarily suspended until it is brought up to standards.
