COMMUNAL SERVICE NOT SATISFACTORY
For the last month in Yerevan numerous emergencies have been recorded,
particularly – 13 fires, 41 cases of power failure, 5 cases of water pipe
system failure, 3 cases of sewage system failure and others.
Today the guest of the municipality briefing was the Yerevan deputy mayor
Vano Vardanyan. He referred to the construction, reconstruction, and
communal-economic programs of the capital, and spoke about done and yet
undone works. According to him, a sum of 90 million drams has been spent on
the reconstruction on the Davtashen bridge, and 125.5 million – on the
Kievyan bridge reconstruction. The latter, according to the deputy mayor, is
the 34% of the overall sum to be spent on the bridge reconstruction. The
reconstruction works of the Swan Lake have already started. In summer the
lake will serve as a pool, and in winter – as a skating ring.
12 companies realize the cleaning of the capital. They remove 450 tons of
rubbish in 3-8 days. Mr. Vardanyan confessed that their work cannot be
considered satisfactory either. The reason is the lack of the necessary
equipment. In order to fill in this gap, the municipality is holding
negotiations with the Moscow Auto-producing Factory after Lenin.
The elevators of the capital are also in a terrible condition. 4180
elevators are completely spoilt, and the rest work not safely. Vano
Vardanyan claims that they hold negotiations with the Moscow «Karacheevo»
factory to solve this problem. A subsidiary enterprise of the company is
supposed to be built in Yerevan. By the way, «Karacheevo» is the same
factory elevators of which work in the multistoried buildings of the capital
since Soviet times.
