A large-scale modernization of the city's public utilities infrastructure is underway in Berdyansk, Zaporizhia Oblast. This includes water treatment facilities, a water pumping station, and four main water pipelines, which are 95% deteriorated. Specialists have already begun upgrading sections of two water pipelines, totaling nearly 6 km in length, according to Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
"The water supply and wastewater systems in Berdyansk had been unmaintained for approximately 50 years. Severe wear and tear on the pipes had led to leaks over time, and the terrain had also reduced water pressure. Last September, a decision was made to reconstruct the most vulnerable sections of four main water pipelines in two stages. One of them is the "Privil" pipeline. Seven kilometers of new pipes were laid virtually next to the old ones, gradually switching consumers, minimizing the risk of network overload. Now, under the supervision of the Territorial Development Fund, work has begun on two more sections, 1.1 kilometers and 4.7 kilometers long," the Deputy Prime Minister said.
The Deputy Prime Minister added that these two water pipelines are intended to supply water to two-thirds of Berdyansk's residents.
"In the first phase, specialists will have to relocate nearly 6 km of pipes in challenging conditions: existing underground utilities, a roadway, and residential buildings are all located nearby. Overall, we plan to completely repair all four main water pipelines, totaling approximately 47 km, by the end of 2028. According to calculations, this will help resolve the water supply issue for more than 80,000 residents and visitors to the resort town of Berdyansk," said Vasily Kupyzin, CEO of the Territorial Development Fund.
