Cottages were built on the shore of the lake under the guise of non-residential premises

In the village of Bryukhovychi, which is part of Lviv, the water level in the lake has been illegally lowered to prevent flooding of newly built cottages on the shore.

This was reported by Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi on Facebook, promising to go to the scene and investigate the situation.

Sadovyi said that a trench had been dug near the lake to drain the lake. These works were carried out without permits.

He emphasized that the former authorities in Bryukhovychi had issued urban planning conditions for the recreation center. However, the developers built cottages under the guise of non-residential premises.

"During this term, developers asked us to convert non-residential premises into residential cottages. The executive refused them. However, they received these documents through the registrar. This is a recreational area where there can be no housing. We are going to find out," the mayor wrote.

In the discussion of Sadovoi's post, they also urged to pay attention to the condition of other water bodies in the city.

Daria Boteva noted that one of the lakes, probably Pionerske, is currently located on the territory of a closed religious institution. And its security does not even allow taking pictures of the reservoir.

"The sand lakes were cleaned in such a way that, probably, it would be better not to clean them. Although the algae were beautiful, the water chickens were also beautiful. And there is some kind of brown foam, at least it was like that in the fall," she said.
