An accident occurred in the 160 mm diameter pressurized main water pipeline passing through the territory of the 30th building from the 1st mine of Binagadi settlement.

According to the information provided to "APA-Economics" by "Azersu" OJSC, the water leakage occurred under the private residential house number 170, which was built illegally in the protection zone of the main water pipeline. As a result of the accident, the basement and yards of several private residential houses in the area were flooded is left under.

Immediately after receiving the information about the accident, the employees of "Azersu" OJSC, the regional Executive Authority and the municipality inspected the accident site.

It turned out that the accident happened in the lower part of the bedroom of that apartment house, which made it impossible to operate the equipment there.

The owner of the apartment removed the floor of the house and determined the location of the accident.

The water flow was temporarily prevented by the emergency brigade of "Azersu" OJSC.

At present, work is being continued to completely eliminate the accident.

It was noted that non-observance of construction rules during the construction of individual residential houses and facilities, carrying out constructions in the protection zone of main and distribution water lines, and in some cases even on them, creates serious difficulties in eliminating the accidents that have occurred.

Since it is impossible to carry out excavation works with technical means, repair and restoration works are carried out in extremely difficult conditions and take a long time.

According to safety regulations, the protection zone of the belt should be completely emptied and conditions should be created for the free movement of equipment in order to carry out repair and restoration works.

In most cases, the owners of apartments and objects do not agree with this, as a result of which it takes a long time to complete the repair work.

In the past, Bilajari settlement Malikaslanov street, Binagadi road 3rd turn, Khatai district village Ahmadli, Nizami district Azer Manafov, Chobanzade streets, etc.

Illegally built individual residential houses and objects on communication lines have created difficulties for the elimination of accidents that occurred in main water lines and sewage collectors in the areas.

"Azersu" OJSC once again brings to the attention of citizens and entrepreneurs that the construction of private houses and facilities in the protection zone of main water lines, reservoirs, sewage collectors is prohibited.

The high pressure in the main pipeline creates serious dangers not only for buildings but also for people's lives during an accident.

Citizens and entrepreneurs, when buying land for private residence or facility, should unambiguously obtain a relevant opinion from "Azersu" OJSC in order to determine whether or not there are communication systems in that area.
