In social networks, a video circulated showing a large-capacity pump pipe bursting in the Jarkurgan district of the Surkhandarya region and a large amount of water being ejected from it. The regional administration commented on the situation.
According to the local administration, at around 12:50 on June 30 of this year, a crack occurred in a pipe with a diameter of D-2850 millimeters in section 7 of collector 1 of the "Bobotog" pumping station located in the Jarkurgan district. As a result, high-pressure water ejection was observed.
Immediate measures were taken regarding the situation. It was noted that the operation of 3 pump units in collector 1 was suspended in an emergency. After that, a special rapid response team was dispatched to the site, and repair works were carried out. The repairs were fully completed by 21:00, and the pump units were restarted at 21:20.
It is reported that the incident did not cause any damage to the nearby residential houses or the infrastructure of the pumping station.
