Environmentalists of Nizhny Tagil on Tuesday, January 23, are going to relate Governor Yevgeny Kuyvashev the signatures of citizens under the document on the critical situation with Chernoistochinsky pond and support the initiative to use as a drinking source of groundwater. About this correspondent JustMedia. ru the chairman of the public organization "Ecopravo" Andrei Volegov.

At the building of Sverdlovsk government activists are going to appear at 12:00. According to Volegov, environmentalists wanted to get to a personal reception with the governor, but this failed.

"In the administration of Gorky, 21 we were delayed the time of agreement. We waited a week or so and decided to go to his reception room at the request of citizens and already there to take the documents, "he said..

The initiative group managed to collect 5,185 signatures. Until all the works on the rehabilitation of the Chernoistochinsk reservoir have been carried out (for this, 39 million rubles have been allocated from the regional budget,. ed.), they suggest looking for an alternative to water with blue-green algae.

A similar document was handed over by the mayor of Nizhny Tagil to Sergei Nosov at the end of last year. Signatures in the city administration were scandalized. JustMedia. ru already wrote in detail that it did not suit the officials and the evaluation of the proposed project by specialists.

Recall, in the past two years in Nizhny Tagil, an emergency situation with drinking water. In Chernoistochinsky pond actively develops blue-green algae, releasing toxins. In the reservoir due to lack of oxygen, and high concentrations of ammonia, and ammonium ions - fish die.

The Chernoistochinsky waterworks and water treatment plant have been operating since the 1970s and the equipment does not allow them to be cleaned of water. Earlier Volegov wrote about this to the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation.

Also ecologists, townspeople and local businessmen have decided to connect to the situation of the mayor of the city Sergei Nosov and the head of the region Evgeny Kuyvashev. They suggest using groundwater for drinking. By calculations of experts it is more economical.
