Cases of illegal use of drinking water were detected in Sabunchu and Ramana settlements

Measures against illegal use and wastage of drinking water are in progress. As a result of investigations conducted to prevent water losses and wastage in accordance with the "Actions Plan for 2020-2022 on ensuring efficient use of water resources" approved by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, cases of unaccounted and off-meter use of water were detected in Sabunchu and Ramana settlements. During the inspection of the water supply system of the "Aylin" kindergarten in Sabunchu settlement, it was found that the instition was illegally connected to the water line without obtaining technical conditions. Illegal use of drinking water was found in tandoor, doner and cafe located in the settlement area. In the Yeni Ramana residential area, a case of water theft was also found in the facility where trees and decorative flowers are sold. Irrigation work is carried out here through an illegally built water line. The water supply of the farm and internet club operating at the same address in Yeni (New) Ramana is carried out through an illegally constructed line.

Detected illegal water lines were canceled, an act was drawn up and the damage was calculated. Entrepreneurs were informed about the legal connection to the water network and were told that global climate change has led to a decrease in our country's fresh water resources and in such situation, wasteful use of water is unacceptable. Illegal and wasteful use of drinking water causes disruption of hydraulic regimes in the networks, serious water losses, deterioration of water supply for other residents living in those areas. To prevent such illegal situations, measures will be continued regularly, arbitrarily drawn and off-meter lines will be canceled and those who repeat such situations will be referred to the law enforcement agencies.

It should be noted that 5373 facts related to the illegal use of drinking water were discovered by "Azersu" OJSC within January-July 2022. According to those cases, consumption in the amount of 1 million 400 thousand cubic meters was restored. In January-July of the current year, more than 100 facts related to illegal use of water were submitted to law enforcement agencies for investigation.
