(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 9 . The
implementation of the project of reconstruction of drinking water
supply systems in Azerbaijan's Shusha city liberated by Azerbaijani
army two years ago, successfully continues, Azersu OJSC told
on November
9.
According to the company, work is being completed to create an
alternative source for the sustainable provision of the city with
high-quality drinking water. In particular, a dam with a capacity
of 25,000 cubic meters was built near Dashalty village (located
close to Shusha) on the Zarysly river.
Along with the construction of the dam, on a territory with
difficult terrain, work was carried out to build a modern
high-pressure pumping station and a 2.6-kilometer pipeline to
transport water to Shusha. The work under the project is being
completed.
Besides, in accordance with the project, reconstruction work was
carried out at the Kichik Kirs water source, and a new water
storage device was installed, the 5.3-kilometer part of the Kichik
Kirs-Shusha main water pipeline was replaced with steel pipes,
pressure and water distribution chambers were built on the
pipeline.
Within the project, the construction of two central reservoirs
in the high relief points of the city of Shusha has also begun. In
the course of designing, in order to ensure a sustainable water
supply for the population, the city was divided into eight zones,
six of which will be provided with water in the gravity mode, and
two – by means of hydrophore pumps.
The next stage of the project envisages complete reconstruction
of the inner-city networks, and construction of a wastewater
treatment plant, and currently specialists of Azersu and consulting
companies continue research in this direction.
After the liberation of Shusha from Armenian occupation, in a
short time, the damaged sections of the Kichik Kirs-Shusha and
Zarysly-Shusha main water pipelines were restored. On November 25,
2020, water was supplied to the city from the Kichik Kirs source,
and on December 20 from the Zarysly source, work was carried out to
regulate the inner-city network.
At present, Azersu has organized uninterrupted service in the
field of water supply in Shusha city, Kalbajar, Lachin, Zangilan
districts and Hadrut settlement.
