According to the head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the DPR, now water is supplied in a reduced mode, according to a schedule. «Probably, it was the right decision, because now we are fed from our reserve sources, this is a reserve reservoir. But it tends to run out. Therefore, we have developed a whole comprehensive plan to support our channel,» Kostrubitsky said.

" Its length is more than two kilometers, it gives a volume of up to 15 thousand cubic meters per day.

From the end of February 2022, the situation with water supply in the DPR was approaching critical. The reason was the stoppage of the third rise of the water conduit: it is impossible to carry out restoration work at the facility due to incessant shelling. Therefore, the transition to a reduced water supply schedule for residents of Makeevka, Gorlovka, Yasinovataya and Donetsk was a necessary measure. An uninterrupted water supply will be ensured only if the first rise — the Slovyansk region is controlled.
