Kyivvodokanal, the municipal utility responsible for water supply and wastewater services in Kyiv and the surrounding region, said at around 1:30 p.m. local time that power outages at its facilities had disrupted water supplies across all districts of the capital.
Kyiv residents experienced renewed water supply disruptions on November 5, 2026, as voltage fluctuations following Russian attacks also impacted metro operations, according to local authorities. The city's water utility, Kyivvodokanal, reported that power outages at its facilities disrupted water supplies across all districts of the capital for over 24 hours.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced that water pressure in the supply system was gradually returning to normal, with service restored in affected areas. Meanwhile, the metro service on the line crossing both banks of the Dnipro River was temporarily suspended due to voltage fluctuations, with train services resuming at a slower pace.
