Another Injection In Yerevan Water Supply System
The Armenian government and the EBRD have signed a loan agreement.
EBRD will lend 5 million euro for the reconstruction of the water
supply system of Yerevan and improve water supply.
The water supply system of Yerevan is a black hole which absorbs
millions. They have blown the whistle for mismanagement, wastage, loss
of loans of millions of dollars since the early 2000s.
It would be unfair to say that water supply has not improved in
Yerevan. It has improved but at the same time all deadlines have
passed by which managers and those in charge of the system promised
24-hour water supply.
In some districts there is 24-hour supply whereas in others water
supply has got worse.
The management of the water supply system of Yerevan has changed
several times. First an Italian company took on the management which
left without doing anything. Now a French company is managing the
water supply system. It is not going to leave and it is not clear how
long it will stay.
The citizens are not interested in details. They need a constant
supply of good quality water. It is at least strange that the capital
of the country which has big resources of drinking water does not have
24-hour running water.
Now another loan is injected in the system. Now the question is
whether the water will take away most of the money or the money will
bring more water to our homes.
