The working group on creation of drinking water supply systems held a meeting in the city of Shusha

Second meeting of the working group established to prepare a feasibility study and preliminary design documents for the establishment of a drinking water supply system in Shusha city and Dashalti village of Shusha region was held. The meeting, which took place in Shusha, was attended by employees and specialists of “Azersu” OJSC and other government agencies included in the working group.

During the speeches at the meeting, they were informed about the urgent work done to restore the drinking water supply in Shusha, the cultural capital of Azerbaijan. It was noted that shortly after the liberation of Shusha, water supply to the city was provided by carrying out restoration on the intake facilities and main pipelines of the Kichik Kirs and Zarisli springs and the distribution networks were regulated.

Then, a presentation on the work planned for the reconstruction of the drinking water supply system in Shusha was held. It was noted that at the end of last year, work began on the initial stage of the project to reconstruct the drinking water supply of Shusha. As part of the project, a 5.3 km section of the Kichik Kirs-Shusha transmission main was replaced. It was also braught to attention that 2 reservoirs and a 6 km section of the city network will be reconstructed in the city within the project.

It was noted that the use of existing Small Kirs and Zarisli sources may not meet demand at certain times of the year. Therefore, it is planned to use the water resources of the Zarisli River as an alternative source. For this purpose, research work is planned on the construction of a water intake and pumping station in the part of the river near the city of Shusha.

The meeting also discussed perspective projects related to the reconstruction of drinking water and wastewater systems in Shusha, the application of innovative technologies in this area and environmental impact assessment.
