For drinking water supply, you can contact your utility company
The municipal utilities companies UAB “Nemenčinės komunalininkas” and UAB “Nemėžio komunalininkas” are providing drinking water in the most affected areas, either by connecting electricity generators to pumping stations or by delivering drinking water to residents in containers.
In some areas, well water is available, or the electricity supply has already been restored.
In such areas, the utilities will also connect electricity generators to the sewage pumping stations to ensure wastewater treatment.
The storms of recent days have caused a lot of damage and inconvenience to all of us. We understand that many of us are currently facing difficulties due to power outages. However, it is only by working together, helping each other and approaching the situation with understanding that we can overcome these challenges.
