The 300 residents of the village of Deghdzavan situated near the
border of Georgia have been buying water since 2004. The peasants
used to buy it for 6 AMD a liter but after the increase of fuel costs
Deghdzavan has to pay 7.5 AMD for a liter.
The problem of water has resulted in emigration from the
village. Governor of the village Rubik Hovhannissian hopes that
"Hayjrmughkoyughi" CJSC will restore the construction of a water-pipe
from Stepanavan to Noyemberyan. However, the company will have to
install another water-pipe of 8 km from the main pipe to Deghdzavan,
since the old one is badly damaged.
