Water and wastewater treatment – Khusnullin spoke about the implementation of grandiose infrastructure projects in Crimea
Every year, according to the program for the development of Crimea and Sevastopol, 150 million rubles will be allocated from the federal budget.
The government will provide a list of additional events for which the funds will be used within a month, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Today we can confidently say that the main transport engineering infrastructure restrictions imposed on the peninsula by sanctions have now been lifted,” said Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Marat Khusnullin. “We see opportunities to speed up work.”
First of all, we are talking about road repairs. 67% of roads in urban agglomerations have been brought into compliance, and by the end of 2024 this figure will increase to 85%. Regional and municipal roads will reach the standards by 50%. Also in 2024, the construction of exits from the Tavrida highway to Alushta, Sudak and Feodosia will be completed.
“Despite the sanctions, there is a possibility of building roads,” Khusnulin assured.
He emphasized that the task of providing high-quality water to Crimea has been completed, and now an additional 134 thousand cubic meters of water per day are supplied to the Simferopol water supply network and 71 thousand to Sevastopol. The main task is to reduce losses in networks.
“We found water under the bottom of the Azov Sea, but now, in connection with the resumption of work of the North Crimean Canal, we are reviewing the water supply scheme and work plan in order to integrate it into the system,” Khusnullin said.
By 2024, sewage treatment in Crimea will be 90%, for which 12 WWTPs are being built and 12 structures are being designed. This will increase the pace of construction of housing and tourist facilities. According to the Deputy Prime Minister, this will be facilitated by the introduction of infrastructure and budget loans, the expansion of the mortgage lending market through the opening of branches of large banks in Crimea and the attraction of private capital.
“At least 1 trillion rubles of private investment by 2025,” Khusnullin emphasized. “Taking into account the return of capital, there is somewhere to invest.”
