A dam leak occurred in the Maloe Chausovo microdistrict in Kurgan

In the Maloe Chausovo microdistrict in Kurgan, a leak occurred at dam, where construction equipment is already working. Currently, work is underway to eliminate the leak that formed near the bridge. Several trucks are involved in the work. Local residents are watching the process.

Residents are queuing for water. The microdistrict is located near the airport. The governor of the Kurgan region, Vadim Shumkov, previously reported problems at the dam site in the Voronovka area, near the Kurgan airport, where there is an increased hydraulic load due to a sharp increase in water level and thawing of the lower layers of the soil. This leads to leaks and destruction. Emergency work is currently being carried out in this area.

Authorities warned of possible flooding of several microdistricts, including Maloye Chausovo, Vostochny and Voronovka. Residents were asked to evacuate. A regional emergency has been declared in the region due to the threat of flooding of many settlements and houses. It is predicted that the water level in the Tobol River will continue to rise in the coming days, which may lead to flooding of coastal areas and other objects.
