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.

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.
