GWP releases a statement regarding the flooding of the area adjacent to the Rustaveli Theatre

The company Georgian Water and Power is releasing a statement regarding the flooding of the area adjacent to the Rustaveli Theatre. According to the company, the incident was caused by damage to a branch of the internal, privately owned water supply network. The operational team that arrived at the scene identified the damage and confirmed that the Rustaveli Theatre's private branch pipe itself is damaged. Interpressnews+2

According to the company, the incident is not related to the rehabilitation process ongoing on Rustaveli Avenue, because only the main and distribution networks were replaced within the scope of the rehabilitation, and no work was carried out on the internal networks. It is noted that the rehabilitation works adjacent to the Rustaveli Theatre were completed last month and the network scheme has not been changed. Netgazeti+2

As for the drainage system, Georgian Water and Power states that it is not responsible for drainage systems, although it confirms that this system is not the cause of the flooding either. According to the company, technically, the drainage system could not ensure the prevention of flooding caused by damage to the internal water supply network. Information about the flooding, including a video of the restaurant flooding, was spread on social media. Netgazeti+2
