Created: 10-09-2022 13:14

Actions are being continued by "Azersu" Open Joint Stock Company to restore drinking water supply to Lachin city, Sus and Zabukh villages, which were taken under full control by the Azerbaijani Army. Initially, the city's existing water source, water reservoirs, transmission main and network water lines were inspected. It turned out that the sub-artesian wells, which are the main source of drinking water in the city, had been rendered completely unusable. In the well zone, the water intake device, pumping station and power supply systems were purposefully disabled and the pumps were dismantled and carried away.

Since the restoration of sub-artesian wells is not possible in a short time, it was decided to provide water to the city from springs as an alternative source. For this purpose, damaged parts of the transmission main had been repaired, drawers and vent are installed on the main pipeline for optimal distribution and regulation of water. Since the city network is also unusable, it was decided to temporarily create a network above ground.

For this purpose, more than 3 km of lines were laid with polyethylene pipes of different diameters, connections were made from the existing transmission main to the new network, and drinking water was provided to the buildings in need. At the same time, a watering tower was installed in the city and 3 water trucks were brought to the area for service.

In addition to these, projecting work have been started to provide sustainable water supply to the city of Lachin. Specialists inspected the subartesian area, reservoirs, pumping stations, and assessed the situation on the spot. It was decided to restore the sub-artesian wells, pumping station and other hydrotechnical facilities that have become unusable, wash and clean the reservoirs and return them to operation.
