Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen According to the Berlin fire department and water companies, a major break in a water pipe in the Wedding district was responsible for the outage, which probably affected "large parts of Berlin".
The fire department said it was on duty with two emergency vehicles. The water company also stated that its technicians were working to stop the flow of water from the faulty pipe and slowly restore the water pressure.
The extinguishing water supply was also affected, a fire department spokesman told dpa late this evening. However, the situation is now stabilizing.
"Please do not make any emergency calls"
The spokesperson said that the fire department had drawn on existing reserves in fire engines. "That's always several thousand liters." The emergency services could respond if there was a fire, for example.
The fire department asked that no emergency calls be made because of this. Many citizens had called the emergency number 112 to find out the reason.
