Residents of Nizhny Tagil, dissatisfied with the flowering of the Chernoistochny pond and the quality of drinking water coming from it, ask the governor of the Sverdlovsk region Evgeny Kuyvashev and the mayor Sergei Nosov to change the situation. About this JustMedia. ru the chairman of the public organization "Ecopravo" Andrei Volegov.

Citizens suggest using groundwater for drinking and ask for it in the concession agreement for the reconstruction of the water supply system in Nizhny Tagil. The document must be signed by the regional ministry of housing and communal services and the city administration.

To release the plan of local residents, it is necessary to conduct geological exploration work and afterwards start to develop groundwater deposits. According to the calculations of geological engineer Sergey Khrebtikov, this will require 160 million rubles.

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.
