Governor Yevgeny Kuyvashev during a visit to the slime storage facility behind the Chernoistochchni pond in Nizhny Tagil, gave specialists a month to study all causes of water pollution. About this correspondent JustMedia. ru communicated the chairman of the public organization "Ecopravo" Andrei Volegov.

Kuyvashev touched upon the cleaning of the sludge collector and the solution of the problem with the location near the pond of the stables of the hippotherapeutic center.

"The governor said that the inhabitants themselves pollute the pond, then they themselves raise the problem. He gave a month to collect the necessary information about the causes of pollution of the pond shore. After this period, the folder with the results should be placed on the table, "- said Volegov.

Local ecologists have their own plan for cleaning the slime storage and reclamation of the destroyed land. But today, according to the chairman of "Ecopravo", he was not told about Sverdlovsk governor about him. Report about it, they are going to him a little later.

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.

According to the calculations of specialists it is more economical.

The document with the signatures of activists under the proposal to use underground water with a scandal was transferred to the administration of Nizhny Tagil at the end of last year. In early January 2018, the same document was brought to the government of the Sverdlovsk Region for transmission to the governor Evgeny Kuyvashev. Environmentalists sent an appeal to the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.
