In Sevastopol, sewage created a channel between houses into the Blue Bay
In Sevastopol, direct discharge of sewage into the Black Sea continues.
NTS reports that within two months, wastewater formed a channel among the houses on the shore of the Blue Bay, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The discharge of wastewater began in early June, when the coast of the bay was blocked by a fence with a full house announcing the start of construction of a deep-water outlet at the Yuzhnye WWTP. This facility is being built under the Federal Target Program and is supposed to cleanse the sea coast of Sevastopol from sewage emissions. In fact, the wastewater has been flowing into the sea for two months now, creating a river bed among the houses.
Commenting on the situation, Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev assured that by the end of July a new branch of the waste collector will be ready, to which the wastewater will be switched.
“The main, respectively, wastewater outlet collector along this entire length, and this is about half a kilometer, 300 meters have already been completed. Now this work is in full swing. The contractor does this. I think that by the end of July we can switch this area to a new release area. Two chambers are built corresponding to the discharge. Therefore, this area will be safe,” the governor assured.
Now the dates have been postponed to the end of August.
Recently, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Government Marat Khusnullin visited the construction site of the Yuzhnye WWTP. The city leadership assured that the work is on schedule, and the new treatment plants will begin receiving wastewater in 2023. The modern complex, designed to receive 130 thousand cubic meters per day with a deep-water discharge collector, is scheduled to be completed in 2024 according to the contract.
In the area of Kamyshov and Kazachinskoe highways, the contractor is erecting buildings for mechanical wastewater treatment, a sand trap and an administrative building. Workers also began construction of the onshore deep-sea outlet chamber and the discharge manifold chamber.
By the fall, the contractor must receive all documentation and equipment that had to be replaced due to new sanctions against Crimea and the Russian Federation as a whole. As a result, some of the instruments and mechanisms will be designed by one manufacturer, and some will be available analogues. After installation is completed, the collector will be put into operation so as not to put Cossack Bay at risk. The Federal Target Program allocates 22 billion rubles for the Yuzhnye WWTP.
