I. Metshin: “Construction of the SPS “Zarechnaya” is a fateful decision for the infrastructure of Kazan”

(KZN.RU, September 13, Anton Nozdrin). The construction of sewage pumping station “Zarechnaya”, scheduled for October this year, will not lead to the introduction of additional tariff boards for the population. In addition, the station is planned to be fully automated and fitted up with modern high-tech pumping and filtration equipment, which will prevent pollution of air and ground. Iskander Giniyatullin, the deputy head of the Executive Committee and the chairman of the Housing and Communal Services, spoke about the preparations for the construction of a main facility for the city today at a staff meeting in the City Hall.

The first phase of the construction of the SPS “Zarechnaya” will be carried out by the MUP “Vodokanal” investment program. As I. Giniyatullin noted, the question of amending the program is now regarded, and perhaps the separate fee for connection to the grid will be installed. However, this is not reflected to the tariffs for the population. “The first phase will provide reception and pumping of wastewater with the prospect of the development of the zone beyond the river over the next 3-4 years”, said the chairman of Housing Committee. The station will be fitted up with modern high-tech pumping equipment. In addition, SPS will be fully automated. In order to avoid a negative impact on the environment, the station will be equipped with a filtration system and air purification, the possibility of drains spout to the surface will be prevented.

According to I. Giniyatullin, the construction of the SPS “Zarechnaya” is scheduled to begin in October this year, and put it into operation in the third quarter of 2017. Moscow experience was studied, the terms of reference for the installation of special caps and traps air is currently being prepared that will solve the problem of odor from sewage treatment plants.

Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, said that solving the problem with the pre-emergency object (SPS “Verhnyaya” works since 1973) was possible thanks to the support of Rustam Minnikhanov. “We have been “locked up”, and not for one year. In the end we found a solution, thanks to our President, our colleagues from the Government of the RT, the Ministry and the Tariff Committee. We all worked together very well and found a solution in time. Yes, the construction is divided into stages, but in the foreseeable future we will implement something that was long sought, without stopping any of the construction sites. Construction of the SPS “Zarechnaya” in Kazan is a fateful decision for urban infrastructure, which applies not only to the possibility of the current drainage capacity in all districts, but also the emergence of new investment areas”, said the Mayor.
