At the same time 417 fire-hydrants will be installed.

   A section of 19km of the drinking water line was laid and 400 house connections have been carried out. The project will finish by the 2014. 

   At the first phase the settlement will be supplied with drinking water from Jeyranbatan-Mashtaga transmission main. In the future 2Nos reservoirs with the capacity of 4000 m3 each will be constructed and these reservoirs will be fed by Jeyranbatan-Balakhani-Ramana-Gala-Pirallahi water pipeline.

  In the frame of the project a sewerage collector of 3,8km and micro tunnel of 1,4km will be constructed.

   At the same time a sewerage network of 77,3km will be created in the settlement at the expanse of the Government of Azerbaijan. The wastewater of the settlement will be discharged to Wastewater Treatment Plant that will be constructed near Pirshagi settlement.
