In order to solve the issue of water supply to the population of the city of Nikolaev, two steps were taken.
The first is the allocation of UAH 56 million from the state budget, the second is the use of artesian wells, said Deputy Head of the Office of the President Kyrylo Tymoshenko.
“As a result of hostile actions of the aggressor, the main and reserve lines of the main water pipeline Dnepr-Nikolaev were damaged. Considering that 80% of the total length of the water pipeline passes through the territory of the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region, this makes it impossible to carry out emergency and restoration work and does not guarantee the further stable operation of this source of water,” he said.
However, the city is provided with water intake from the Southern Bug River and artesian wells. Currently, 14 wells have been put into operation – in city hospitals, a maternity hospital and a military hospital. Today, water supply has begun in residential buildings, the deputy head of the OP informed.
At the same time, according to him, the city is actively receiving humanitarian aid. “As of today, almost 3 thousand tons of goods have been received, of which 1 thousand tons have already been transferred to the territorial communities of the region, municipal institutions, structures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and volunteer organizations. In total, 6.5 thousand tons have been received in the Nikolaev region during the period of martial law humanitarian aid,” the official said on the official Telegram channel.
We will remind, earlier Tymoshenko reported that in the Nikolaev area temporary constructions for travel in Voznesensk and New Odessa are equipped.
