Water supply of 15 thousand people in Shirvan has substantially improved and population were supplied with drinking water on “24 hours a day” basis as a result of transmission of drinking water from Shirvan-Mugan integrated water pipeline which is one of the major infrastructure projects to Shirvan city.

   Laying of a section of Shirvan-Mugan integrated water pipeline to Shirvan city was completed and this allowed supplying Shirvan`s population with drinking water on “24 hours a day” basis.  On July 1, 2013 the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev attended the ceremony to supply drinking water to Shirvan from Shirvan-Mugan integrated water pipeline.

Thus, a part of population in Shirvan was supplied with drinking water on “24 hours a day” basis. 45,7km of distributional lines of 60km was laid, thus more over 4 thousand people were supplied on “24 hours a day” basis. After completion of the projects water supply systems of 25 thousand people will be improved. About 2000 people in Yeni Yashayish residential area will be supplied with prepaid smart-card water meters.
