40 million rubles were spent in the Buryat ulus on the federal "Clean Water" project. But local residents never saw any water.
Federal Project "Clean Water" Launched in the Buryat ulus Nur-Selenie In 2022, approximately 5 km of pipes were laid along 11 streets in the ulus as part of the project. Clean water was planned to reach 1,5 people. However, the residents never received it. Two months after the new pipeline was launched, the water disappeared. Since then, it has appeared only sporadically.
Sinkholes, cracks, and fissures formed near the main water wells. Residents of the ulus were forced to fence them off with improvised means: boards, ropes, and tires. The prosecutor's office even intervened, opening a criminal case for negligence.
This winter, the water pumps froze over. People are forced to queue at the only paid water pump in the ulus. On average, one family spends up to two thousand rubles a month on water.
Activists plan to appeal to the prosecutor's office again.
Ulus Nur-Selenie It's part of the Ulan-Ude agglomeration and is located 16 km from the city center. One can imagine what's happening a little further from the republic's capital.
