State of Water Supply in Armenia is Far From Being Satisafactory

CHAIRMAN OF STATE WATER COMMITTEE: STATE OF WATER SUPPLY IN ARMENIA IS
FAR FROM BEING SATISAFACTORY

YEREVAN, JUNE 29, NOYAN TAPAN. Five foreign companies currently operate
Armenia’s drinking water system. They work by 100% self-financing and
are almost fully provided with funds. The chairman of the State
Committee of Water Industry of the RA Ministry of Territorial
Governance Andranik Andreasian said this at the June 29 press
conference, adding that nevertheless, the state of water supply in the
country is far from being satisfactory. According to him, Yerevan Water
company that operates Yerevan’s drinking water system will soon receive
a concessional credit of 30 million euros from the French government.
SAUR company (France), manager of the water system in a number of
Armenian regions, has begun work on improvement of water supply network
in the cities of Tsakhkadzor, Sevan and Gavar.

A. Andreasian said that negotiations on provision of a 30
million-dollar credit started recently with the Asian Development Bank.
It is envisaged to allocate this sum for restoration of the water
supply system in regions.

He said that Japanese experts are now conducting studies in 600
Armenian villages to determine the amount of investments necessary for
restoration of the water supply system.
