IJsseldijk damaged by water pipe rupture

The IJsseldijk in Krimpen aan den IJssel was damaged by a burst water pipe on Tuesday morning, 25 August. A truck hit a fire hydrant and the impact broke the water pipe under the dike. The water from the pipeline had so much power that some of the clay was washed away from the dike. It also poured into a neighboring house.

The water supply was cut off by Oasen around 11:15 am. During the outflow of the water, a hundred households are without water, according to Oasen. It may take until the afternoon before the problems are resolved.

The repair of the dike will take some time, reports the Schieland Krimpenerwaard Water Board. The water board was still looking for a contractor who could reinforce the dike with clay. The dike is expected to remain closed until Wednesday morning.

According to a spokesperson for the water board, the damage to the dike is not a threat to the surrounding area. It is an inner dike.

#Sweet

#Lief is a themed broadcast of Decennium Dick on Thursday evening March 4, 2021 ... Love is never sin, living without love is sin!

Municipalities support National Moluccan Monument

This year it will be 70 years ago that the 1st generation Moluccans were transferred to the Netherlands in 1951 with 12 ship transports. On command, about 4000 Moluccan KNIL soldiers and Navy men came to the Netherlands with their families (in total 12,500 persons). At the point of arrival of the 1st transport ship at the Lloydkade in Rotterdam, it is not yet possible to trace a historical event. The National Moluccan Monument Foundation (LMM) is committed to realizing a monument. The monument will be a tribute to this 1st generation Moluccans and their families and in recognition of the shared past. The monument can also serve to continue telling the story of the arrival of Moluccans in the Netherlands to current and future generations. For anyone interested in this history, the foundation wants to offer an opportunity to learn more. They believe that more knowledge of each other's past leads to more understanding. To realize a monument, the LMM foundation has entered into a p...

Literary Happy Hour

After Erik's Tip, writer Marjo de Vroed sits down to tell something about herself and of course about her second book. Marjo de Vroed (1965) has lived in South Holland all her life and was a teacher at a Jenaplan school. She is married and has three grown daughters. When they were little, she regularly made up stories for them, which she brought to life with their hugs. She has loved writing since childhood. It started from group 4 with stories in the school newspaper and eventually resulted in adulthood in writing musicals for group 8 of her own school. In between, she wrote notebooks full of short stories and rhymes. And now children's books . First, of course, we have an overview of the Mega Single Top-100 and the announcement of the new LOKSCHIJF. Afterwards Ellen Bommeljé will be a guest for the item “Happy with the Bieb aan de IJssel”.
