Electricity supply to Avdiivka resumed as Donetsk Filter Station still out of power

KYIV. April 4 (Interfax) - Teams of energy workers have repaired the damaged segments on a power transmission line leading to Avdiivka, the Donetsk region, and connected the city's grids to a power supply, Ukraine's Ministry for Temporary Occupied Territories and Internally Displaced Persons said.

"As of 4.00 p.m., power supply to the town of Avdiivka is restored," the ministry said on its Twitter page on Tuesday.

Donetsk regional military-civil administration head Pavlo Zhebrivskiy confirmed this information on his Facebook page: "Avdiivka is with electricity now. In the morning, an emergency repair team restored the damaged pylon."

However, Zhebrivskiy noted that the Donetsk water purification plant remained out of power.

"There is still some water supply left in the town's reservoirs. We are feeding water into the buildings as scheduled," he added.
