VLADIVOSTOK, February 22 (Itar-Tass) -- An electricity failure has
left some 70,000 in several districts of the Russian Far Eastern city of Vladivostok without water supplies, a spokesman for the local water
utility, Primorsky Vodokanal, told Itar-Tass on Tuesday.
According to the spokesman, a water pumping station feeding

Repair works are underway. Water supplies are expected to be resumed
within the day.
