An emergency declaration has been issued for both municipalities following significant storm damage, with power outages affecting numerous residents. As of the latest reports, a substantial number of customers remain without electricity. Specifically, Anykščiai reports nearly 9,800 affected customers, while Kazlų Rūda has approximately 1,200 affected customers.
These figures match the count recorded at the beginning of the week, indicating that full service has not yet been widely restored. The situation in Anykščiai presents additional infrastructural challenges. Mayor Kęstutis Tubis indicated that the municipality continues to require operational support for certain waterworks and sewage treatment plants.
To manage these essential services, generators are currently being utilized. Mayor Tubis stated that generator supply is necessary for specific facilities, noting that equipment has been provided by “Anykščių Venta.”
The persistent need for generator support highlights the breadth of the recovery effort underway. While efforts are focused on restoring power, the maintenance of critical utilities like water and sanitation adds layers of complexity to the recovery process.
Authorities are coordinating resources to address both the immediate power deficits and the ongoing needs of municipal infrastructure. Residents are advised to remain aware of updates regarding when services will be fully restored across both locations, as work continues to stabilize the affected areas.
