Sewage disposal workers are against it! Gorodets gold miners can't reach the discharge point.
Sewage workers have declared a forced strike. Gorodets, Nizhny Novgorod RegionThey're not at all opposed to the work, but they can't reach the waste disposal site due to the impassable roads. The situation threatens to spill over and escalate into an environmental disaster.
The sewage disposal point is located outside the city. Due to the bad weather and warm temperatures, the country road turned into a muddy mess.
"The only decision our administration made, in conjunction with the Teplovodokanal administration, was to wait for the cold weather. People are left without essential services."- рассказал sewage truck driver Dmitry Kokurin.
According to the latestofficial data In 2019, 22% of Russian households lacked central sewerage. Statistics do not indicate the percentage of Russians without access to proper roads.
According to Kokurin's colleagues, their vehicles simply can't handle the "road" and are breaking down. Septic tanks in all the courtyards are overflowing, and people can't use water or shower.
Deputy Head of Administration Evgeniy Maslov He told reporters that this was supposedly a protest for the sake of protest: a bypass road could be found. Indeed, one exists, but after a few trips from sewage trucks, the dirt road would turn into the same mess. Then even cars wouldn't be able to navigate it.
Last week in the Vladimir region another situation happened: residents of Alexandrov protested against sewage disposal workers who were dumping sewage into a well within the city limits. It overflowed, and the sewage flowed into the streets. In short, this eternal and profitable business was in crisis.
