    RESIDENTS DRINK MUDDY WATER

    In the result of irregular water supply sewerage waters mixed with
    irrigation ditch in Mushakan Village, Erebuni Community.

    Eventually, the village residents get water every three days and they
    cannot water their gardens.

    A few days ago a water-pipe dispatcher promised A1+ to deal "with
    the matter." Today another dispatcher told A1+ that bad water supply
    is determined by the lack of water. "Water reservoir empties before
    being filled," he said.

    Rubbish flows into the irrigation ditch with sewerage waters. Residents
    throw litter into the stream as there aren't rubbish bins in the
    village.

    "I can bring rubbish bins to the village but the residents will hardly
    pay the service bill. I know it for sure as I have already talked to
    them. They got used to throwing rubbish into the stream or into the
    gulf," said the village head Sveta Aslanyan.

    When A1+ informed Lena Aghababyan, the chief doctor of the Erebuni
    Sanitary-Epidemiological Station, about the current state of the
    village, the latter said, "The River Hrazdan carries sewerage
    waters. Many settlements have appeared in such a hopeless state."

    Further on the cheif doctor said that it is not upon their department
    to handle the matter.

    It is noteworthy that drinking water of Mushavan is also polluted.

    "We turn on the taps and wait for 40 minutes as we cannot drink
    muddy water," said one of the residents and pointed to the water
    (see the photo).
