The head of the peninsula’s parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov, has said that Crimea is fully supplied with drinking water. He added that work on the largest infrastructure project – the reconstruction of the Feodosiya-Sudak water pipeline – was being completed.
Crimea is currently fully provided with drinking water, even in the hypothetical absence of an inflow, its reserves will be enough for a year, the head of the republic’s parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov, said in his Telegram channel.
“Today the volume of resources in the reservoirs of the Republic is about 150 million cubic metres. In the complete absence of inflow, which, of course, will not happen, these reserves will be enough for at least one year,” he wrote.
According to him, some reservoirs this year are filled even more than last year.
“Starokrymskoye reservoir is filled to 71 per cent, while last year this indicator was 48 per cent. The filling of Zagorsky, Balanovsky and Izobilnensky reservoirs exceeds 80 per cent,” Konstantinov said.
Konstantinov also said that at the moment the work on the largest infrastructure project – reconstruction of the Feodosia-Sudak water pipeline – is being completed. Its commissioning will guarantee water supply to the residents of Sudak region. By the end of November it is planned to complete the overhaul of the main water supply networks of Simferopol, which will significantly reduce water losses in the communications system. In Yevpatoria they are building a water pipeline with a length of more than 12 kilometres.
Konstantinov noted that the construction of the water supply route in the east of Crimea is currently more than 75 per cent complete.
In total, it is planned to build about 150 kilometres of underground communications, the speaker said. The cost of the project is more than 23 billion rubles, the completion of work is scheduled for December 2024.
Recall, earlier Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Marat Khusnullin said that in the DNR, LNR, as well as in Zaporozhye and Kherson regions for three years by the forces of the regions-sponsors are planned to restore and build about 8.4 thousand objects, including 3.5 thousand apartment buildings.
