A large-scale leak in a distribution network on Avenida Rei Pelé, in Maracanã, in the North Zone of Rio, was identified by the concessionária Águas do Rio in the early hours of this Tuesday. The situation at the site has already been controlled, but teams continue working on repairing the network. Garis from Comlurb were also dispatched to the area to work on cleaning the roads affected by the leak.
Because of the leak, it was necessary to temporarily suspend the water supply in neighborhoods in the North and South zones of the state capital. According to Águas do Rio, 19 neighborhoods were affected by the supply interruption.
The impacted neighborhoods are: Andaraí, Botafogo, Catumbi, Copacabana, Cosme Velho, Engenho Novo, Laranjeiras, Leme, Lins de Vasconcelos (partially), Maracanã, Praça da Bandeira, Riachuelo, Rio Comprido, Sampaio, Santa Teresa, São Francisco Xavier, Tijuca, Urca, and Vila Isabel.
