"There was a six-meter-deep ravine here, and they gave us parts of it and told us: build, fill it in, improve it. We invested our energy, our health, doing all this for ourselves, for our children, and then suddenly this happened: someone wanted it, liked it, and decided to do it.". 

Rodshteyn assured that the wear and tear of the sewer system running under the garages is close to 100%. If it is not reconstructed, Zavodskoy district A city of 103 people will be left without sewerage. Garage owners parry: it would be possible to build a new collector away from the garages, rather than solving municipal problems at the expense of other people's property.
