A local emergency situation has been declared after the Donetsk water filtering station was stopped, the press service of the Ministry for Temporarily Occupied Territories has tweeted.

"All other gas, water and power supply facilities in Donetsk and Luhansk regions work in a regular mode," it said.

The Donetsk filtering station has been taken off the power grid due to shooting since 6 June. It was decided yesterday to remove 4 t of chlorine and evacuate the staff from the Donetsk filtering station.

A reservoir in Avdiyivka, which receives water from the Donetsk filtering station, holds enough water for four days.

As of 9 June, technical water will be supplied by tank trucks.
