"We are taking samples from different sources in all regions of the emergency zone. Analyses of water from all of the nine wells in Golaya Pristan have showed that the water is not potable. It is dangerous for health as shown by both bacteriological and chemical indicators," Alekseyenko said on Telegram. Only bottled water is suitable for safe drinking and cooking in the city, the official said, adding that experts from the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations had started sanitary cleansing of the water systems and wells. The upper part of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) on the Dnepr River was damaged overnight from June 5 to June 6. It was not destroyed completely but its crumbling caused an uncontrollable outflow of water to towns on the Russian-controlled eastern bank of the river and the Ukrainian-held western bank. Moscow and Kiev have blamed each other for the dam's destruction. Authorities in some of the affected areas have evacuated the population. The Kakhovka HPP is the sixth and the last stage of the cascade of Dnepr hydroelectric power plants located 5 kilometers from the city of Nova Kakhovka in the Kherson Region.
