Residents of Severouralsk, Sverdlovsk region, have been living for three days without drinking water because of the collapse of the Kalya riverbed - tap water is heavily polluted, mineral water stores are over. Because of the water, people began to fight, writes Znak. com.

Clean water is brought to the city by cars that periodically break down on the way. One person is given only two liters a day and strictly according to passports. To get a bottle, you need to enroll in special lists and stand for several hours in the queue in the heat.

Bottled water was purchased from the city budget. The press service of the local administration reported that 250 thousand rubles were allocated for purchases.

Through the site of the mayoralty, officials constantly inform the townspeople about the situation. At the same time, the head of the city district Vasily Matyushenko and the director of the local water canal Aman Karasayev are now on vacation and are not going to interrupt him.
