Domanivka has signed a €1.4 million grant agreement with the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO), an international financial organisation. These works are funded by the Danish government.

The parties signed this agreement during the July conference on the restoration of Ukraine in Rome, according to the article NikVesti «URC-2025: Was the largest conference on the restoration of Ukraine useful for Mykolaiv region?».

The funds will be used to restore water supply from the well in Zbroshkove village to Domanivka village, along with the reconstruction of external networks.

Prior to that, Oleksandra Sokhan, deputy head of the Domanivka village council, said that last year the community received pipes from UNICEF and began replacing them in the village. And now, the project is laying a water supply line from the village of Zbroshkove in Bashtanka district.

According to her, the length of the water pipeline to Domanivka will be 7 kilometres, and then there will be branches in the village.

«We have a centralised water supply in Domanivka, but the wells we have do not meet water quality requirements. Over the past two years, the water level in our wells has dropped, and we don't have enough water in the summer. And the water from Zbroshkove village will solve the problem of constant water supply for the population», she added.

As a reminder, the funds for the projects for Mykolaiv implemented by NEFCO and the EBRD are provided by the Danish government. In particular, Denmark has approved the sixth support package for the Mykolaiv region in the amount of DKK 200 million (EUR 26 million euros). Among the projects to be funded is the provision of quality water to the residents of Domanivka.
