Torrential rainfall leaves Thessaloniki flooded, powerless and without potable water

The municipality of Thessaloniki has once again failed to cope with the severe weather phenomena.

The amount of the rain was high, as according to the Athens Observatory Station, 72.4 millimeters of rain fell only in one hour, while the temperature dropped dramatically from 23 to 13 degrees Celsius.

However, the disaster, beyond all else, left Thessaloniki without water and electricity!

According to Thessaloniki Water Authority EYATH, cut-offs in the water supply will continue until this afternoon in the center of Thessaloniki, which is supplied by the Dendropotamos pumping station.

The interruption will take place to ensure that through necessary health controls, the water is of the right quality and is absolutely safe for consumption.
