It is known that Shushi has a water problem. They promise to solve the
problem next year. What are people supposed to do until that time?
Apparently to be happy with the government water they stand in line to
get from time to time. People do not complain much because the problem
of water is not only Shushi’s problem. Neighbors often help each other
with water, who manage to store up some.
Shushi gets water supply once in two days. In winter often no water is
supplied at all because it freezes in pipes. Last time the high-rises
near Ghazanchetsots Church and Manoogian Street had water on January 1
and January 5. Recently the government gave people a surprise and
brought water by trucks. It is chilly outside but people have to carry
water. On the same day 8 tons of water was given to 80 families, 100
liters to each. They need to have a bath, do the laundry and use in the
toilet for a week.
Water in the pipes of the private sector froze a month ago. They get no
water at all. Nobody complains because it is winter. They carry water
from the source by cars.
It is true that winter this year was cold, and disruptions are possible
but the government should take care of carrying water for the residents
of high-rises by car. It is not so expensive for the government. As to
people, they will learn to carry buckets of water upstairs.
