The weekend without water outraged the residents of Makhachkala.
Makhachkalintsy on the weekend were left without the ability to cook food or wash clothes due to a large-scale water outage, and there was no proper information about the outage, while three water trucks cannot meet the city's needs.
On November 13 at 18:49 MSK, the Unified Operator in the field of water supply in Dagestan informed on its Telegram channel that from November 14 to 15, water supply to Makhachkala would be stopped through the Miatlinskie water pipelines. This was explained by the fact that work on underwater inspection of the emergency repair valve would take place in the shaft of the balancing reservoir of the Miatlin Hydroelectric Power Station, and as a result, water supply would be stopped through three pipelines.
As noted by the Unified Operator, after the work is completed, it will take at least a day to fully fill the main pipelines and restore water supply.
Makhachkalintsy in the comments to the publication noted that a specific list of streets where water outages are expected was not provided.
"Can you provide specific information on which addresses will have outages or interruptions? People have weekends, plans. We need to understand how much water to stock up. Tariffs are rising, but the quality of services, as the city water utility could not provide, remains the same," writes Saba.
"Why don't you specify which areas will have water shut off? What kind of nonsense is this, how can this happen on weekends? Please specify addresses so that people can stock up," wrote Adashka.
On November 15 at 15:15 MSK, the Unified Operator in its publication listed the addresses of several streets that would be affected by the water outage. It was noted that during the water supply restriction, water delivery would be organized. For this purpose, only three units of special equipment would be involved.
"Only on the second day in the evening did they deign to write the streets where there will be no water. But this list does not correspond to reality; we are not included in it, we have been without water for the second day," said Raisat to the correspondent of the "Caucasian Knot".
"On weekends, people prepare for the work week; they need to wash clothes, including for schoolchildren. Three days without water, considering that it will take at least a day to restore water supply, is too much," says Rasim.
"There has been no water for two days, heating has been turned off. Did this have to be done exactly on the weekend? The hotline phones do not answer. The promised water delivery is not happening. And how can three water trucks, as the Unified Operator indicated, provide for the entire city?" said Maryam.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", the Prime Minister of Dagestan, Magomed Ramazanov, called the main problem of Dagestan the development of engineering infrastructure. Solving the problems of electricity and water losses and providing them to residents will be an indicator of the authorities' successful work, commentators noted.
