In Kazan, construction of a section of the Novo-Ometyevsky reservoir
with a length of approximately 100 meters along Ametyevskaya Magistral Street,
will be completed by September. The new section is being built using a micro
tunneling method. The use of modern, durable pipes at this new section will
allow operating it for a century. The Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin held an
on-site meeting where he inspected the site after the reconstruction, which is designed
to transport wastewater from nearly three thousand facilities in the area.

“Major repairs are taking place not only in social facilities, but also
in municipal networks. Last year, there were 1,300 incidents on the networks of
Vodokanal Municipal Unitary Enterprise, and 400 incidents in the first half of
this year. Overall, in the 1,000-year-old city of Kazan, networks are 70% worn
out. A lot of work is underway, but so far it is being done only by Vodokanal.
We hope that federal and regional programs will be implemented, and the
reliability of water supply, sewage and other city networks will significantly
improve,”- said the Mayor of Kazan.
Today, the overall completion rate is 60% and all work is expected to be
finished by September. The contractor for this project is LLC RegionPromStroy.
A meeting was attended by the Deputy Head of the Executive Committee of
the City, Iskander Giniyatullin, the Head of the Administration of the Sovetsky
city district, Roman Fatkhutdinov, and others.
