At a time when global climate change has led to decrease of water resources, there are still people who use drinking water illegally and wastefully. Owners of slaughterhouses in Yasamal district do not stop their illegal activities, despite repeated warnings and suspension of water supply to the facility.

It seems that, as in the whole world, due to climate changes, the information about the reduction of fresh water resources in Azerbaijan has not yet reached the owners of the facility located at the intersection of Sharifzade and Khiyabani streets, Yasamal district. The owners of facilities operating in this area waste water for hours without realizing how precious a drop of water is. During the control measures carried out by the specialists of the Yasamal District Sukanal Branch, it was found that drinking water is seriously stolen from kebab houses and slaughter- houses. Only one of the more than 10 existing facilities in the area uses water legally. All facilities were listed by the experts of Yasamal District Sukanal Branch and entrepreneurs were given information about legal connection to the water network.

   

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 laid and off-meter lines will be canceled, law enforcement agencies will be contacted regarding those who repeat such situations.

Those engaged in slaughtering meat in the mentioned area made an illegal connection to the sewage network. Discharge of animal waste into the network leads to frequent blockage of inspection wells and lines and spillage of sewage into the surrounding area.

It should be noted that 6225 facts related to the illegal use of drinking water were discovered by "Azersu" OJSC within January-August 2022. In those cases, the consumption of 1 million 627 thousand cubic meters was restored. This number was 115 facts and 28 thousand 700 cubic meters respectively for Yasamal region. In January-August of this year, more than 100 facts related to illegal use of water were submitted to law enforcement agencies for investigation.
