In Posad-Pokrovske, despite the liberation of the right-bank part of the Kherson region, residents still do not have gas and water supply in most of the village.

Larysa Sokolova, deputy mayor of Posad-Pokrovske, told about this in the NikVesti report «Posad-Pokrovske: A village that survived the shelling».

The right part of the settlement has already been equipped with a tower, which allows residents to get water without obstacles. However, in the left part, water is still supplied only to some houses, and it is promised to restore its supply by the end of the year.

Regarding gas supply, Larysa Sokolova noted that the project is still being prepared, and work on its implementation has not yet begun.

«In the left part of the village, there is a water supply, water is supplied to people's homes. And there is a water treatment plant, people can collect purified water. But we already have water supply for one street. They promise us to restore it completely in a year. The gas supply has not been done yet, they are just working on the project,» noted Larysa Sokolova.

She added that the residents of the village, who wintered this year in modular houses, were able to survive the winter thanks to the help of charitable organizations, which provided the residents with fuel briquettes and firewood.

As you know, the village of Posad-Pokrovske on the border of the Kherson and Mykolaiv regions was on the conflict line for 8 months. Every day, the villagers counted from 350 to 500 arrivals.
