The reason why the pollution of one reservoir led Yekaterinburg to a water collapse has been named.
The pollution of the Volchikhin Reservoir as a result of the July rain flood has led to a collapse of water supply in Yekaterinburg, as the Ural capital violated federal safety regulations in this area. Current requirements mandate that million-plus cities obtain water from at least two independent sources, reports Tagilcity.ru.
Yekaterinburg is almost entirely—95.8%—dependent on a single surface system, which lacks technological resilience, reports "Signal Ural."
The nearly 100% wear and tear of water supply and sewage networks and the lack of treatment capacity are just part of the accumulated problems faced by the "Vodokanal." The administration of Yekaterinburg today presented a comprehensive development program for municipal infrastructure systems until 2045, from which it becomes clear that the situation with the megacity's water supply is close to critical.
