Kyiv Digital App Launches Interactive Map of Water Stations with Status and Backup Power Details

Introducing a Vital Update in the Kyiv Digital App

According to Рубрика — Суспільство: The Kyiv Digital application has rolled out a valuable new feature: an interactive map displaying the city's water station network, complete with real-time updates on their operational status, artesian well characteristics, and availability of backup power. This tool is especially crucial for Kyiv residents facing possible water supply disruptions caused by hostile attacks targeting the capital’s energy infrastructure.

This water station map has been incorporated into Kyiv Digital’s resilience mapping system. It offers detailed information about each station’s functionality, specifics of the artesian wells, and whether they can switch to emergency power sources. These details are vital given the ongoing electricity interruptions in Kyiv and surrounding areas resulting from targeted strikes on power facilities, which impact water supply operations.

An Extensive Network of Water Stations Across Kyiv

In emergency water shortages, Kyiv’s population can rely on a network of over 170 water supply complexes managed by the municipal enterprise Kyivvodfond. These stations undergo rigorous technical and sanitary supervision. Water quality testing complies with Ukraine’s Law on Drinking Water and Water Supply, as well as national sanitary standards. Comprehensive testing covering 54 indicators is conducted annually, radiation levels are monitored every three years, while reduced testing of 14 parameters occurs quarterly. Additionally, production control involving 12 indicators happens monthly or quarterly. Test results are publicly available on informational boards at the water stations and on Kyivvodfond’s official website.

Over 150 of these complexes are equipped to connect to generators during power outages. Upon directives from the operational headquarters, staff transport and hook up power equipment to ensure continuous water access. Valentyn Mondryivskyi emphasized the significance of quick access to this information: "We continue enhancing the service to meet the needs of the city and its residents. When prolonged electricity blackouts cause water supply interruptions, it is essential to locate the nearest water station and verify if it can operate on backup power. Digital tools enable users to access this critical information easily and keep it readily available."
