/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Yerevan residents’ liabilities for water amount to 3
billion AMD, but it is so-called old debts incurred by residents before
the water meter had been introduced. We decided to ask the government
to pay back this debt, the government has already covered some part
of this debt, " president of the Armenian Association of Consumers
(AAC) Armen Poghosyan told a meeting with reporters on November 5.

Armen Pogosyan stressed that over the past few years in Yerevan, no
cases of mass poisoning from water were observed, but such cases were
recorded in the regions. "This is due to deterioration of pipes,"
the chairman of AAC says. "Network of water pipes of the country
became a sieve, which can cause poisoning.

Armen Poghosyan said that 83 per cent of Yerevan residents receive
water round the clock, but in some areas of the country residents
receive water once every three days.
