A water supply pipe in Hongje-dong, Seoul was ruptured, and the city started emergency restoration, but the restoration is delayed as the work is prolonged.
According to the Seoul Waterworks Headquarters, restoration is delayed due to the inability to install detour pipes, and water has been cut off for 300 nearby households from 7:00 a.m. for restoration work.
Shutdown is scheduled until 2:00 p.m., but may change depending on site conditions, the city of Seoul said.
