Don’t get drunk at the water ... Residents of Medvezhyegorsk hit a petition according to the promises of power

They say that in Karelia of water - at least a bit. Do not believe it, far from everywhere this water is safe, so the inhabitants of many settlements have long made the trail to clean sources, without the risk of eating what is flowing from the taps of their apartments.

The authorities have been promoting to the people for more than one year that he is about to solve the problem: he will find funds for design estimates, draw up land plots and finally build sewage and treatment facilities. People believe and endure, and what remains for them.

Recently, government information resources again reported which work boils in the authorities. Commenting on the workshop of the deputies of the ZS and government officials, the parliament speaker Elissan Shandalovich said: “Great opportunities for protecting the two largest freshwater reservoirs in Europe - Onega and Ladoga - should appear with the launch of the United Federal Project for Environmental Recognition of the Country of the Country of the Country. Until 2024, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of Russia, a specific list of measures will be formed with the justification of the expenses of the federal budget and the evaluation of the effects of their implementation. Therefore, until this time, it is very important to put priorities for objects, conduct scientific research for the preparation of technical specifications, prepare high-quality design estimates for objects based on the real needs of settlements. ”

And then the question arises: what, are the priorities not yet arranged? Or are the old ones cancel and you need to develop new ones? I remember that in 2020 the speaker said that the Karelian parliament pays special attention to the creation of treatment facilities in the settlements of the republic. The environmental condition of the Ladoga and Onega lakes depends on this, on the banks of which many large settlements are located. The republic’s budget for several years provides for funds for their design, construction and reconstruction ...

Then, the Minister of Construction, Viktor Rossypnov, informed that 125.87 million rubles were allocated from the republican budget for the development of project documents for the creation and updating of treatment facilities in different areas of Karelia. So, by the end of 2020, it was planned to prepare them to create structures to clean the drains in Medvezhyegorsk.

Note that the situation in Medvezhyegorsk is pleased with a typical for Karelia. The local residents, who once sensed the horror of the dysentery epidemic on themselves, which began in the city due to infected tap water, from time to time try to recall the authorities about these promises to deliver clean water to the apartments. In detail told the "History of the disease of the city of M." In 2018, the Internet publication “Petrozavodsk says”.

“Residents of Medvezhyegorsk, the public, and deputies of the local council for many years tried to attract the attention of the authorities to this situation,” said Valentina Evseeva, deputy of the Council of the Medvezhyegorsk city settlement of the Medvezhyegorsk city settlement. - After this epidemic, the townspeople again sent an appeal to President Putin - 2600 signatures! But everything again went around the usual circle: from the presidential administration, the appeal was sent to the Karelia government. Our government made another unsubscription on the fact that the development of design estimates is the powers of the municipality ... ”

Almost five years have passed.

After the Karelia parliament once again went into the argument about how it is planned to protect the Onega and Ladoga Lakes, the inhabitants of Medvezhyegorsk published a petition, which they ask to sign caring citizens, regardless of the shores of which lakes and rivers of Karelia they live.

“The city of Medvezhyegorsk is located on the shores of Lake Onega, the population is more than 10 thousand people, and there are no sewage and treatment facilities (KOSD). Residents of the city are deprived of the legal right to clean water.

Onega Lake is one of the largest in Europe, the second largest freshwater reservoir in Europe after Lake Ladoga and the third in Russia. There is a pollution of the lake, the entire sewage is drained straight into the lake.

The problem of pollution of reservoirs is one of the key in the field of ecology. After all, now the fecal “good” without cleaning is dumped into the lake within the city beach in voltm, let's think about 1.5 million cubic meters a year, ” the petition says .

In order for the authorities to pay attention to the voice of the people, it is necessary to gain at least one hundred thousand votes.

And finally, another quote from electronic media - the Internet remembers everything. In 2019, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Karelia, quite specific promises were also made. “For his part, Karelia does everything necessary to advance in resolving this issue. So, when accepting the Karelia budget for 2019, the head of the republic proposed to provide 117 million rubles for the development of project documentation for the construction or reconstruction of treatment facilities in a number of Karelia regions. The legislative assembly supported this initiative. However, the republic cannot solve this problem without the help of the federal center, ”the Republic wrote.

-At the latest meetings of the State Commission for preparations for the 100th anniversary of Karelia, the initiatives of the republic in this direction received support. Now we have prepared a number of additional proposals, among them to consider the construction and reconstruction of treatment facilities in the Olonets and Medvezhyegorsk districts of Karelia. It is very gratifying that our proposals are included in the draft decision of the State Commission, ”said Elissan Shandalovich.

What happened to the proposals - the story is silent. And the speaker of the parliament, meanwhile, under the graphics camera of the GOSTELEKANAL, once again “studying experience” of water treatment facilities in Petrozavodsk is perhaps the only modern complex throughout the republic, although not everyone risks the cranes without additional cleaning in the capital of Karelia ...
