On New Year's Eve, a major water pipe burst in Berlin's Wedding district left large parts of the city without water.
The incident, caused by a damaged central supply pipe, affected neighborhoods like Kreuzberg, Schöneberg, and Charlottenburg.
Emergency services worked swiftly to stabilize the situation, with firefighters relying on reserve tanks to ensure fire safety.
By 8:55 PM, water pressure began to return, and officials expected full restoration by midnight.
The Seestraße area remained closed due to flooding, and residents were urged not to call emergency lines for updates.
Despite the disruption, authorities managed to handle the crisis effectively, ensuring minimal impact on the city's New Year's celebrations.
