Tourists will be able to breathe: the famous Koktebel stench will disappear in 2023
In Koktebel, construction of a central sewer system is underway at the expense of the state program for the socio-economic development of Crimea.
During the Ukrainian period, they tried to lay sewer networks at the expense of the investor, but the village continued to discharge sewage into the sea, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The usual picture for Koktebel - streams and ditches tightly closed with polyethylene - will soon become a thing of the past. The construction of a central sewer system is underway in the village, for which the federal budget has allocated 1,5 billion rubles. For this money, distribution networks are laid throughout the village, wells are installed and pressure collectors are built through which the wastewater will flow to treatment plants.
“The foundations for the treatment plant are already ready,” said Oleg Popov, project manager from the contractor company. “The laying of gravity and pressure collectors is underway. There are 20 streets left - all the collectors above Lenin Street have already been laid and in the coastal part there are already about 40%.”
The overall project readiness is 30%. During the summer holiday season, work was suspended so as not to interfere with vacationers visiting the village. According to the schedule, the entire complex with collectors and treatment plants should be completed in May 2023. But commissioning work is planned to be carried out this summer.
In addition, the contractor decided, at his own expense, to fill the dirt roads under which the central pipe runs with gravel. 17 km of networks out of 27 km have already been laid.
According to the project, all wastewater will be collected by 5 pressure collectors and transferred to treatment facilities in the Armutluk Valley. After mechanical and biological treatment, process water will go into reservoirs, from where it can be taken for household needs, and the dewatered sludge will go to a warehouse. It is useful for canning landfills.
Not a single drop of sewage should end up in the sea, provided that all households are connected to the sewer system. The treatment capacity is 5 thousand cubic meters per day with the prospect of increasing capacity to 10 thousand. The treatment plants provide a station for receiving liquid household waste for those households that cannot connect to central networks.
