The Damage from the Floods in Smolyan Area Exceed BGN 500,000.

The damage from the torrential rain in Smolyan Municipality exceed 500 000 BGN, said Deputy Mayor Mariana Tsekova. And today the cleanup of floods and streets affected by floods continues.

Listing the damage and calculating the total amount of expenses is not over, as information from municipalities is still coming for damage from the destructive high water. The Regional Administration in Smolyan has been requested by the Ministry of Defense to include military and technical equipment from the 101st Alpine Regiment for the restoration activities in the region. The military service is expected to allow the dispatch of drinking water to Chepelare, as the city's tap water is polluted after the torrential rains.

The request from the Regional Administration also indicated the need to target 20 troops and tanks to assist in the clearance of the main road traffic in Smolyan. Painted asphalt pavements from streets in the city, drained slopes and mud deposits are part of the effects of the floods in Smolyan and the neighboring villages, according to the municipal administration.
