At the same time, due to the lack of electricity, the pressure in the network has decreased, so residents of the upper floors of high-rise buildings may be left without water.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Water is supplied to all facilities, but it is supplied with low pressure, so there may be a lack of water on floors above the second or third,&#8221; the official explained.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, problems with water supply in apartments can occur starting from the third or fourth floors.<\/p>\n<p>Residents who do not have water in their apartments are advised to contact neighbors or heads of condominium associations to find out if it is possible to get it on the lower floors.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, due to damage to the power grid, trolleybuses are temporarily not running in Lutsk. Electric transport will resume once the power supply is restored.<\/p>\n<p>If the situation does not improve in the near future, the city authorities plan to resume the operation of the Invincibility Points, where residents will be able to receive the necessary support during prolonged power outages.<\/p>\n<p>It was previously reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/zakhid-ukrainy-pid-rosiyskoiu-atakoiu-poshkodzheni-budynky-pidpryiemstva-y-infrastruktura\/\">Russian occupation forces massively attacked western regions of Ukraine with drones on the night of October 16.<\/a> Power supply was cut off in Lutsk and Kovel, civilian infrastructure was damaged in Rivne, seven people were injured, and a foreign manufacturing enterprise was destroyed in Chortkiv, Ternopil region.<\/p>\n<p>Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lutsk has been experiencing severe power outages for the second day following Russian attacks.
