In the village of Sentsovo Lipetsk district replaced 722 meters of worn water supply

In the village of Sentsovo completed the reconstruction of water supply networks on 8 March. The works will ensure stable cold water supply to 51 households and reduce the number of accidents on the site.

According to the Ministry of housing and communal services of the Lipetsk region, the former water pipeline has been operated since 1989. During this time, its wear reached 98% with a standard service life of 30 years. Due to the state of the networks, gusts regularly occurred, and water losses during transportation amounted to 40-50% of the supplied volume. In addition, the pressure could fall below normal, and the quality of drinking water was threatened by secondary pollution.

During the reconstruction, 722 meters of worn pipes were replaced. Accident repair costs are expected to be reduced by at least 85%. The network upgrade will also improve the system’s energy efficiency by reducing hydraulic drag.

According to the ministry, the quality of water supplied is brought into line with hygienic standards. Reconstruction should improve the reliability of water supply to residents of 8 March street and reduce water loss.
