Opening ceremony of the Shusha water treatment plant complex

On July 5, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev attended the opening of the Shusha water treatment plant complex and launched the facility into operation.

As part of the Emergency Measures Program, a project to reconstruct the existing water treatment plant was initiated in order to ensure that the quality indicators of the drinking water supplied to the city of Shusha meet the relevant standards. The facility’s 12 sand filters, internal communication lines and other hydrotechnical equipment, reagent facilities and decontamination facilities, and production laboratory have been fully restored and made ready for operation. As a result of the work carried out, the plant’s capacity was increased from 2,000 cubic meters per day to 5,000 cubic meters per day.

In the next phase of the project, the construction of a modern-type new water treatment plant with a daily capacity of 8,000 cubic meters is planned to ensure a sustainable water supply for the city of Shusha. Three water reservoirs with a total capacity of 6,000 cubic meters have been designed to ensure the sustainability of the water supply of Shusha city. The construction of one of these reservoirs is currently ongoing.
