Accident cuts tap water in Changchun
AN accident at a construction site in Jilin Province has damaged a water pipe and cut off tap water supplies to about 110,000 people since Tuesday, witnesses and the local authorities said yesterday.
The accident happened after part of a retaining wall around a 15-meter-deep foundation pit in downtown Changchun, the provincial capital, collapsed late on Tuesday, the city government said.
"I was on my way to dorm when someone screamed," said a construction worker who declined to be named. "I then saw water flooding the pit."
No deaths or injuries were reported, but the accident broke the underground water pipeline, cutting off supplies to about 110,000 people, including 35,000 students and teachers at Jilin University, the local government said.
At least two construction firms were working at the site.
