Thanks to the filling of the reservoirs, Simferopol was transferred to a new water supply schedule. Now the city has water supply from 6 am to midnight. Previously, the water was turned on only for 6 hours a day. The supply of hot water was also resumed, which was turned off in August last year. In Yalta, they promise to restore round-the-clock water supply to houses by July.
