Implementation of the reconstruction project of drinking water supply infrastructure in the city of Yevlakh is being continued within the framework of the State Program of Socio-Economic Development of the Regions of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The construction of the water purifying plant and reservoir complex is nearing completion within the first phase of the project.

To provide the city of Yevlakh with stable drinking water, the final work is being carried out by constructing a sand filter technology treatment plant with a capacity of 20,000 cubic meters per day on the bank of the Kura River. 16 filters have been installed in the device and the construction of 2 water reservoirs with a total volume of 2500 cubic meters has been completed for the purpose of collecting purifyied water after the processing process. In the treatment plant, 9 backwashing pumps, a transformer and a generator were installed for the power supply of the complex.

At present, the construction of the water intake facility is being continued to transfer the water taken from the river to the existing purifyiers and treatment facilities.

In the next stage of the project, drinking and waste water networks of Yevlakh city will be reconstructed. 135 km of drinking water network will be built in Yevlakh city and meters will be installed by providing house connection to subscribers. Within the framework of the project, the waste water network of the city will be rebuilt. A 115 km long waste water network will be created in Yevlakh city. The construction of a treatment plant with a capacity of 12,500 cubic meters per day has been designed for the treatment and disposal of waste water that will be generated in the city.

It should be noted that drinking and waste water networks built in 1960-1970 are currently being operated in Yevlakh city. Out-of-date networks do not fully cover the city and cause difficulties in the sustainable water supply of the population.
