Hot water supply cut off for 58,000 households in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul

At around 4:13 p.m. on the 13th, an accident suspected to be a water leak occurred in a heat transport pipe inside an underground joint area near the Mokdong Small and Medium Enterprise Distribution Center in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, South Korea.
According to the Seoul Energy Corporation, the accident caused extremely hot water to gush out into the community, damaging the area around Mok-dong, Yangcheon-gu (excluding the 1st and 6th Complex), Sinjeong-dong, Gocheok-gu, Guro-gu, and the surrounding area.
Hot water and heating supplies were cut off to 58,682 households in the Cheok-dong area. No casualties were reported. The Seoul Energy Corporation is currently closing valves to stop the flow of hot water in heat transport pipes.
The corporation plans to cool the area around the accident site and, once the steam has escaped, determine the cause and begin restoration work.
