Moscow River has subsided to summer levels. As the flood threat for nearby facilities no longer exists (except for the lower reach of the river), AO MOSENERGO's emergency commission cancelled duty service for personnel and emergency teams at the company's branches.
However, at the lower reach of the Moscow River near Kolomna and at Oka River between Serpukhov and Kashira, AO MOSENERGO continues to closely monitor the situation caused by the spring snow melt. AO MOSENERGO teams continue to work around the clock. The emergency teams pay special attention to technical water supplies, aiming to prevent water polluting. Oka water levels are still not high and have even started subsiding. The average daily water decline in the Oka is around 10 cm. The maximum water levels were registered on April 22-24, when they went up by 5 m.
As a result of the well-organized effort, there was not a single power failure in the Moscow region from the start of the spring snow melt. According to AO MOSENERGO's emergency commission, water levels will return to normal in 4-5 days and the snow-melting peaks will be finally over, unless there are pouring rains.
