I. Metshin: “A lot of complaint about smell comes in meetings with the public and voters”

(KZN.RU, August 14). Andrey Egorov, the director of the MUE “Vodokanal”, talked about the work on blocking the structures of biological treatment facilities to eliminate the technological smell today on the Business Monday in the Kazan City Hall. In total, 25 buildings will be closed. Funds for solving the problem are allocated from the republican and municipal budgets and by the enterprise itself.

I. Metshin noted that local residents suffered from this smell for 15-20 years but finally the problem will be solved. “It's a quiet horror for those who live there. A lot of complaint about smell comes from the residents of Otar, Mirny, Borisovsko, 1 Gorok, Tankodroma during the meetings with the population and voters and in the Internet reception. We set a task for ourselves to become the most comfortable city in Russia. But it is impossible to fight for this title with the smell that we have around sewage treatment plants and sediment fields today”, the head of the city shared his opinion and recalled how he himself had repeatedly faced this problem, living in the street of Latyshskih Strelkov at the time.

At the same time, the Mayor of Kazan noted the work of the MUE “Vodokanal”, which continues to work qualitatively even in the current situation. “Even with the current load of 350 thousand cubic meters of effluent, the water, released in the Volga, is cleaner than we take it at the water intake. The technologies themselves are of high quality, and we have always paid attention to them”, he said.
