Violent footage - breach of water motorway smashes cellars in Lyngby | BT Samfund - www.bt.dk On Sunday morning, a number of citizens in Lyngby were awakened to the alarming sound of cascading bodies of water in their backyards, which mercilessly penetrated their basements. Video footage from residents now shows how thousands of gallons of water flow relentlessly with tremendous force down a slope to then destroy the property of the innocent homeowners. The supply in Lyngby-Taarbæk states that there was a break in a so-called transport line. According to the supply, it is to be regarded as a motorway that carries drinking water out to smaller water pipes, which in turn distribute the water to the individual households. The break in the transport line happened early Sunday morning. At 5.21, the water guard discovered that a lot of water was being pumped out, at the same time as the water pressure dropped, the supply states. Barely an hour later, it was clear how wrong it was. Here the leak was discovered on a forest path parallel to Færøvej in Lyngby. The hole on the water pipe was as much as 40 centimeters in diameter, and this resulted in a water column of one and a half meters in height. A resident of the area has told B.T. how he experienced the water column as a geyser about two feet high. According to Lyngby-Taarbæk Forsyning, the leak meant a flowing water mass of 1,600 cubic meters per hour. In order not to risk more ruptures of the water main, the water pressure was gradually lowered until 9 o'clock, when the water was completely shut off. Flemming Horn Nielsen, CEO of Lyngby-Taarbæk Forsyning, passed Færøvej on Sunday. He states: “It was a violent breach and it has affected many people. Although we really want to secure water in the taps of everyone as soon as possible, it was necessary to ensure that the water was both closed and reopened at a leisurely pace with safety and professionalism in place. «Check it here Media: The voices are spoken On bare bottom: ABROAD ABROAD Berlingske Media A / S Pilestræde 34 DK-1147 Copenhagen KTlf. +45 33 75 75 33 CVR.no .: 29 20 73 13
