Residents of Kaspiysk complained of a multi-day water shortage.
The Kaspiysk residents' appeal was published today by the "Kaspiysk 24" Telegram channel, which has over 68,000 subscribers. By 6:30 PM Moscow time, the post had garnered over 7,000 views.
"We, residents of Kaspiysk, Bat'manova Street, buildings 16-18, have been without water for six days now. Due to the lack of water supply, our boilers stopped working, as we have individual heating. Today, we contacted the city water utility and the Kaspiysk administration, but no one wants to listen to us or resolve our problem," local residents complain.
The post is also accompanied by videos showing dozens of residents first gathering at the city water utility and then moving to the city administration office to receive clarification regarding the restoration of water supply.
"Where are your superiors? Where is your boss or chief engineer? This is how bad our water supply is, low pressure. We've been without water for five days now. Why are you telling us the reservoirs are full?" the crowd indignantly asked the city water utility representative.
Complaints from Kaspiysk residents were also published today by the "Dagestan Headquarters" Telegram channel, which has over 5,000 subscribers.
"Please publish the information. Residents of Omarova Street have been without water since January 4th. They said there was a pipeline leak, but now they've found another one, and we can't even wash our clothes or dishes. This is one of the main causes of infectious diseases. The new mayor is supposedly a general, but he acts like a private," the statement reads.
The Kaspiysk administration confirmed that there have been water supply interruptions in the city.
"Due to increased water intake, interruptions and temporary water outages are being observed in certain areas of Kaspiysk. The restrictions affect the Kemping microdistrict, as well as Akulinicheva, Lenina, Molodezhnaya, Kaspiyskaya, and Omarova Streets," the administration's statement reads.
According to authorities, utility specialists are inspecting shutoff valves and water pipes to identify possible leaks and malfunctions. Work is proceeding quickly. Water deliveries are being made by prior arrangement.
Social media users are outraged by the slow pace of repairs
"This has been going on for a week. Where are all the responsible people? Where's the water?" subscriber Zaira complained.
"And today, representatives of the city water utility brazenly misled the administration, claiming that our building's water tanks were full, but at our request, they simply poured water into the tank via a water truck (a small amount). There's still no water from the city, and with such a meager amount of water, it didn't even reach our ninth floor, not a drop!" - writes Zamira.
"We've had no water on Omarova Street since January 3rd, absolutely no water at all. Why do we need your water delivery? Give us water at home," responded Muhammad.
"Batmanova Street 14, no water since January 4th. Weekends are no reason to leave people without basic living conditions," noted Kamil Eskerov.
"What a patient people Dagestan is! Nowhere in our country is there such a disgrace. 5 days without water! A long weekend is no reason to abandon the population to their fate, sometimes there's no power, sometimes there's no water - an endless mess!" - indignant Irina.
"Stalina "1, where's the water? Solve the problem already!" - urged Alzira Magomedova.
"What kind of promptness in troubleshooting can we talk about? A week has already passed! Why isn't the administration responding?" asked Levran.
"They wrote about the drop in pressure in previous posts. If only that were true. It's been absolutely non-existent for days. You know, I've only encountered such arbitrariness in Dagestan. In the rest of Russia, water shut-offs were scheduled, and other unforeseen situations were resolved within a day at most. And we're not even talking about Moscow or other large cities," emphasized Polina.
"Caucasian Knot" also wrote that in mid-December, the water was shut off in two districts of Makhachkala Due to an accident at a wastewater treatment plant, some homes were left without heat. The situation angered residents, who were forced to search for water in stores before work. Makhachkala residents reported that, in addition to water, there was a widespread power outage on December 14. Residents named several locations: Kammaeva Street, Gazoraspredelitelnaya, the villages of Semender, Palmira, and other areas of the city.
