Electricity and gas deliveries returning to normal

Power and gas suppliers to the flooded Liberec region have called off a state of emergency during which time their employees worked around the clock restoring supplies to flooded homes. Power has now been restored to most households and the region’s main gas supplier RWE says that by the end of this weekend only around 500 homes will be without gas. In the wake of the floods more than 4,000 people were cut off from both gas and electricity supplies.
