Updated: 2009-09-20 22:35 CHONGQING: More than 100,000 people had been left without water for more than one day in a county in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality after lightning damaged a high voltage line, local authorities said Sunday.
Local residents flooded restaurants as they could not cook in their own houses without water. Although power supply had been restored, it would still take some time before water came back, said Xu Zhengwei, who is in charge of Yunyang Power Company. "The thunderstorm has much troubled the maintenance work," he said. Xu said water supply was expected to be restored early Monday morning if things went well. |
