In the district, it is necessary to strengthen the detection and elimination of unauthorized sewage leaks

In the rivers in Kryvorizky districts Ingulets and Saksagan found a three-fold exceedance of the maximum permissible concentration according to chemical and sanitary-microbiological indicators.

Water quality studies are conducted monthly at four monitoring points on the Ingulets River and seven points on the Saksagan River, the Department of Ecology of the Executive Committee of the Kryvyi Rih City Council reports on Facebook.

It is noted that exceeding the MPC was detected by the content of:

  • of dry residue (1000) – Central City District (1136.6), st. Shokolskogo (1167.33), str. Pereyaslivska (2527.33), Rudnychne village (3267), Damansky district (4776.45), Ternivsky district (3367.42), 129 quarter (3587.52), Pokrovsky district (3730.6), st. Meleshkina (2558.33), str. Mariyska (3678.3), the western bank of the Saksagan Reservoir (3094);
  • chlorides (350) – the village of Rudnychne (1095), str. Pereyaslivska (939.5), Damansky district (1088.4), Ternivsky district (716), 129 quarter (932), Pokrovsky district (1063), street Meleshkina (694), str. Mariyska (1251), the upstream bank of the Saksagan Reservoir (453);
  • sulfates (500) – Rudnychne village (560), Damansky district (1657), Ternivsky district (1214), 129 quarter (1632), Pokrovsky district (1427), st. Meleshkina (734), st. Mariyska (864), the western bank of the Saksagan Reservoir (857).

"The obtained results indicate the need to strengthen the work of the executive committees of the district councils in the city to identify and eliminate the sources of pollution of the Ingulets and Saksagan rivers, in particular, the identification of unauthorized leaks of wastewater from business entities and private households," the report emphasized.

As EcoPolitic reported earlier, due to the explosion of the Kakhovskaya HPP, the Nikopol and part of the Kryvorizky districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region remained without water supply. In Kryvyi Rih, fresh water reserves in the Southern Reservoir will be enough for 6 weeks provided economical consumption.
