In Kedainiai, Lithuania, a major incident occurred just before the long weekend as a serious water supply failure affected residents on Josvainių Street, leaving part of the area submerged in water while others faced the freezing of their water pipes. Emergency services were dispatched to address the flooding, but many locals were temporarily left without water during the crisis. This situation exemplifies the struggle faced by communities dealing with infrastructure challenges and unpredictable weather patterns.

In another part of the city, residents on J. Biliūno Street experienced a different kind of hardship where water vanished not due to a failure but because the pipes froze. Complaints from the residents pointed to inadequate responses from "Kėdainių vandenys," the local water utility service. Despite the water supply system being relatively new, the freezing temperatures caught residents off guard, leaving them feeling abandoned as they pointed fingers at the utility for not taking preventive measures.

The frustrations of residents, including one woman who expressed her disappointment regarding the past infrastructure work, highlight a broader issue of accountability and preparation for seasonal changes. As winters become increasingly unpredictable, the need for robust public services and infrastructure resilience has never been more apparent, with calls for immediate action to prevent similar occurrences in the future, particularly as they await the warmth of spring to resolve their water issues.
