This is called a chain reaction. In the early afternoon, a water pipe broke at Alencon. It forced Eaux de Normandie to cut the water supply to the sector. It also causes a flood on the Ancinnes road and the water reaches the Idex company which is none other than the boiler room in the Perseigne district. Result: the equivalent of 5,000 homes no longer have heating this Saturday, December 25, 2021.
At past 6.30 p.m., a dozen firefighters from Alençon and Mêle-sur-Sarthe were still on the scene. “We emptied the garage of a private individual, explained Lieutenant Françoise Groutel. We are pumping the water which has risen to nearly 15 cm in the Idex company and we are waiting for Enedis to be able to enter the premises. “
Also on site, Valentin Gevrey, director of the Idex agency. “The boiler room is shut down because the electricity has been cut in the building. Enedis will come and see what the damage is on the transformer. We cannot relaunch it at this time. “
