Hayastan All-Armenian Fund carries out construction of potable-water network
in Artsakh's Hadrut City
The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund's U.S. Western Region is building a
potable-water network in Artsakh's Hadrut City, the administrative center of
the Hadrut Region. The project is being realized through a major
contribution by Mr. and Mrs. Gerald and Patricia Turpanjian of Los Angeles,
with additional support from the government of Artsakh. The Turpanjians were
also the main sponsors of the construction of Stepanakert's No. 11 (V.
Jhangiryan) School, completed in 2010.
"Currently the city continues to do with a water network that was built in
the 1970s," said Edik Davtyan, deputy head of the Hadrut Regional
Administration. "The corroded pipes often give out, resulting in several
days of service interruption."
Since the launch of the project in January 2012, almost half of a planned
33-kilometer distribution network has been built. Today, while work
continues on the network, crews are also building water-distribution and
-regulation wells. The final phase of the project will comprise the
construction of a pump station and two reservoirs. When construction is
completed, in Spring 2013, the more than 3,200 residents of Hadrut City will
have around-the-clock access to drinking water.
"In 2008, with the construction of the 22-kilometer Arjaghbyur-Hadrut
potable-water pipeline, the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund started the
large-scale endeavor of modernizing Hadrut City's water infrastructure,"
said Ara Vardanyan, the fund's executive director. "Last year, the
continuation of the project was secured when benefactors Mr. and Mrs. Gerald
and Patricia Turpanjian undertook to sponsor the construction of the
internal water-distribution network."
Located on the southern border of Artsakh, the Hadrut Region is among the
republic's driest and hottest areas. Vardanyan stated that although the
residents of Hadrut City still grapple with a host of infrastructure and
economic issues, a fundamental solution such as the provision of regular
access to potable water will significantly improve their lives.
Other major projects implemented in the Hadrut Region by the Hayastan
All-Armenian Fund include the construction, in 2009, of the 20-kilometer
Togh-Hadrut gas pipeline, which supplies natural gas to the close to 5,200
residents of Hadrut City and seven nearby villages; and the reconstruction,
in 2008, of the Hadrut Regional Hospital, which serves the entire population
of the region, totaling over 12,000 residents.
