14.5 million hryvnias is to be spent on the reconstruction of the centralised water supply system in the «Frigate» neighbourhood in Pervomaisk.

The relevant tender was published in the ProZorro public procurement system.

According to the tender documentation, the contractor will have to dismantle the existing networks and equipment.

The project envisages a number of earthworks: excavation of trenches for pipelines, preparation of foundations; installation of new pipelines made of polyethylene pipes with diameters ranging from 63 to 225 m; installation of shut-off valves (valves, taps, compensators); restoration of the pavement: asphalting, restoration of sidewalks and landscaping.

After the above works, the specialists will test and flush the networks.

As a reminder, Pervomaisk City Council members failed to vote to cancel the decision to increase the cost of water supply.

In March, the executive committee approved an increase in the cost of services provided by Pervomaisk Water Supply and Sewerage Department. According to the decision, the tariff for water increased by 13.73 hryvnias (i.e., by 32.3%); for sewage — by 10.48 hryvnias (40.7%). Thus, from 1 April, centralised water supply services will cost UAH 56.23, and centralised sewerage services will cost 36.18 hryvnias.
