"It was a big fountain, seemed like something exploded, the nearby blocks are now flooded because of this."
"It's very uncomfortable. I was not outside, but the neighbors said that everything was flooded."

It took nearly two hours until the water was not turned back on in the apartments. Yet it was not enough to calm down the people. They still protest loudly regarding the construction, mentioning that it is performed near the playground and might harm children.

They sued the construction company and the first hearing will take place on 11th of September. Representatives from the construction company assure us that the new apartments will start being used by the ending of next year.
