A large-scale leak was identified in a water distribution network on Avenida Rei Pelé, in Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro's North Zone, by the concessionaire Águas do Rio, in the early hours of this Tuesday. The company reported that the situation at the site has already been controlled, but teams continue working on repairing the network. Comlurb garbage collectors are working on cleaning the affected lanes.
Due to the leak, it was necessary to temporarily suspend the water supply in neighborhoods in the North and South zones of the state capital. Águas do Rio advised that, after the repairs are completed, the water supply will be gradually restored in the affected regions.
