Mysterious anomaly in Pavlodar region (Kazakhstan). A hot spring suddenly appeared in one of the private courtyards. Neither the owner of the miracle well nor the village experts can understand what heats the groundwater up to 70 degrees. For reinsurance, rescuers advise not to drink this water. Well, the regional center Zhelezinka is now full of rumors.
Hot water is absolutely free! The villagers have always only dreamed of such a communal benefit. But boiling water in the well suddenly appeared a month ago, which led the Chernousanovs to bewilderment. The curious immediately pulled into the house.
Nikolay Chernousanov, resident of the village. Zhelezinka of Pavlodar region:
- They're kidding: like open a car wash, heat your home. Well, it's as unrealistic as heating, it's necessary to run back there, there is no two tons of water, it is necessary to install a deep pump.
A well was drilled here more than 20 years ago, all this time cold water was regularly flowing from it, and here it is! Of course, not the Kamchatka Valley of Geysers, but for Zhelezinka it's a real miracle: the water in the well heats up to 70 degrees! Now the dishes can be washed and washed.
But you just can't take a shower right away: it hurts hot, - Nikolai complains. And the hostess, although she reacted to everything with distrust, was already used to the amenities.
Galina Chernousanova, resident of the village. Zhelezinka of Pavlodar region:
Promotional video:
- The fact is that we do not know what the consequences of all this may be. If something happens in winter, the water in people can usually go away, maybe something at all will happen, we do not know what is happening there, underground, in the bowels of the earth.
The owner of the hot spring has a version: perhaps groundwater got into the limestone layer, so a chemical reaction began. But this is only guesswork.
Where the hot water came from in the well, now the entire population of the regional center Zhelezinka wonders. The owner of the miracle well himself says that representatives of the akimat came to him, but they could not find out where the boiling water comes from. Then the rescuers came, they too were at a loss.
The only inconvenience: the Chernousanovs lost cold water. You have to buy or collect from your neighbors. Experts advise against drinking from a hot spring. The rural anomaly, meanwhile, is overgrown with incredible rumors.
Askar Burkutbayev, Acting Head of EHS of Zhelezinsky District, Pavlodar Region:
- Versions were in the newspaper, supposedly, a volcano, or geological: some kind of plate moved there. To date, we cannot say the exact answer.
Local authorities and rescuers promise to deal with everything. To begin with, water samples will be sent for analysis to city specialists.
