Water Supply to be Cut in Parts of Odesa on February 23 for Pipe Repairs.

Water Supply Shutdown Notice for Odesa

According to Novyny.live: Due to scheduled repairs on the water main, several areas of Odesa will be without water on February 23, 2026, from 09:20 to 23:30. The outage will affect specific addresses, including buildings 61-A, 61-B, and 57-A on Vladyslava Buvalkina Street, as well as buildings 125, 125/1, 125/2, 125/3, and 125-H on Semena Paliia Street.

Ongoing Power Issues and Alternative Water Sources

Separately, Odesa continues to experience power supply problems following attacks on its energy infrastructure. On the night of February 21, 2023, the Russian Federation targeted the city's energy facilities, damaging a site belonging to DTEK 'Odeski Electromerezhi' (Odesa Power Grids), leading to ongoing emergency blackouts. These infrastructure challenges are part of the wider context affecting Ukraine's cities.

Residents have access to 17 artesian well complexes, which draw water from depths of 80 to 120 meters, as an alternative source during the shutdown. The locations of these public wells include:

• Mechnikov Square
• Mykhailivskyi Square
• Nebesnoi Sotni Ave., 14
• Dalnytska St., 25
• M. Govorova St.
• Prosvity St., 1-D
• Geranieva St.
• Krymska St.
• Heroiv Oborony St.
• Prokhorovskyi Square
• I. Rabina St.
• Inglezi St.
• Lesi Ukrainky Ave., 33
• Knyazia Yaroslav Mudroho Ave., 1
• 6th Station of V. Fontan
• Kosmonavtiv St.
• StaroBazarnyi Square

City officials are urging residents to stock up on water in advance and prepare for potential power interruptions. Relevant services state the situation is under control as they work to restore normal infrastructure operations.

Given the unstable conditions with both energy and water supply, it is crucial for Odesa's residents to prepare for potential difficulties. While the water pipe repairs are necessary to improve service quality, the concurrent power supply issues highlight the complex challenges facing the region. The available artesian wells can partially address water needs, but residents should also monitor the electricity situation, as outages can impact the city's normal functioning.
