In accordance with the Action Plan for ensuring efficient use of water resources approved by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, the State Water Resources Agency of Azerbaijan continues comprehensive measures to detect illegal drinking water lines, minimize water losses and prevent wastage.

As a result of investigations conducted in Khatai district, cases of unaccounted and unmetered water supply were discovered. Although a restaurant "Park Aile Chay Bahchesi" located on Rahib Mammadov Street has the counter, but the water was used illegally. So, the meter of the entity was dismantled on its own and a direct connection was given. Before that, a similar incident occurred at the facility, a damage report was drawn up and water supply was stopped. However, the lessee of the facility continued to rob the water, grossly violating the requirements of the legislation. The water supply to the facility was stopped by the employees of the Khatai District Sukanal Department and a damage report was drawn up again.

       

All illegal compounds detected during control measures have been canceled. It was brought to the attention of the facility owners that the illegal and off-meter use of drinking water leads to the violation of hydraulic regimes in the networks, serious water losses, and deterioration of the water supply of other subscribers living in those areas. To prevent such illegal situations, measures will be continued regularly, arbitrarily drawn and illegal lines are cancelled, and law enforcement agencies are requested to take strict control measures against individuals and legal entities who commit these acts.

It should be noted that in January-April 2023, 4,817 facts related to illegal use of water were discovered, and more than 50 of them were sent to law enforcement agencies for investigation.
