Specialists of the Military Construction Complex of the Ministry of Defense of Russia have completed the construction of another water pipeline to provide drinking water to residents of the Donetsk People’s Republic.
“The new hydraulic structure connected the wells of the village of Kipuchaya Krinitsa in the DPR and the Yuzhny water intake in the city of Donetsk. During test work, military specialists fill the tanks, wash and disinfect communications. In the next few days, clean artesian water will begin to flow to Donetsk residents in the amount of 7,000 cubic meters per day,” the military department commented.
It should be noted that the construction of this pipeline began in October 2022. During this time, a 36-kilometer pipeline was laid, pumping and transformation substations were built. The route passed through difficult sections with a large number of communications that had to be overcome. Well construction continues today in the Kipucha Krinitsa area.
After the launch of this pipeline, military builders will begin construction of a new water pipeline from the Shevchenkovsky water intake in the Dokuchaevsky district to Donetsk.
Recall that this year, military builders in Donbass began the construction of a larger water pipeline that will run through the territory of the Rostov region and the Donetsk People’s Republic to the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal. The pipeline’s capacity will be up to 300,000 cubic meters of water per day.
Earlier, Deputy Defense Minister of the Russian Federation Timur Ivanov flew around the route of the water pipeline with a task force. After the overflight, the military builders stressed that this would be the eighth water conduit built by the Russian Ministry of Defense to provide water to the inhabitants of the liberated territories. (Previously, military builders erected and launched the Chernovsky water pipeline near Debaltseve, in Volnovakha, Rovenki, Dokuchaevsk, a line from the Khanzhenkovsky reservoir to the Seversky Donets canal, etc.).
