The opening of the second stage of the iron removal station took place in the agro-town of Zubki, Liozno District.

The opening of the second stage of the iron removal station took place in the agro-town of Zubki, Liozno District, with the participation of Vladimir Terentyev, Chairman of the Regional Council of Deputies.

The second construction phase included the construction of water supply networks on Dobromysl'yanskaya, Stroiteley, Stantsionnaya, Uglovskogo, 1-ya Kommunal'naya streets and others, where about half of the district center's residents live, as well as in the agro-town of Zubki.

– The opening of the iron removal station in the urban-type settlement of Liozno is undoubtedly a very important event not only for the district but for our entire region. After all, a project of this scale was last implemented in the Vitebsk region about 5 years ago. Over 4 million rubles were spent, and a huge amount of work was done – about 9.5 km of networks were laid, and much more. The main thing is that today we can confidently say that the residents of Liozno and the agro-town of Zubki have received clean, high-quality, and tasty water, which will be supplied without interruption, – noted Vladimir Terentyev, Chairman of the Regional Council of Deputies. – New iron removal stations will appear in 13 more agro-towns in the district, and by 2024–2025, all work within the framework of the subprogram "Clean Water" of the State Program "Comfortable Housing and a Favorable Environment" will be completed.

For the residents of this settlement, and indeed the entire district center, the facility is very important and long-awaited. Over the past ten years, the construction of multi-apartment and individual housing in Liozno has been actively progressing. Anomalously high ambient air temperatures also had an effect, resulting in a sharp increase in the load on water supply facilities, including the iron removal station equipment. For example, during peak hours, there was a lack of water on the upper floors of multi-story buildings, or it was supplied to the distribution network with deviations from standards (drinking water contained turbidity and increased iron content, the presence of which was explained by the limited capacity of existing water management structures and devices).

At one time, with the participation of the head of the regional parliamentary corps, a decision was made to build water supply facilities with an iron removal station in Liozno and the possibility of connecting to the water supply system of the agro-town of Zubki.

In January 2023, the first stage of commissioning was completed within the framework of the investment programme "Clean Water for Vitebsk Region". It included two artesian wells, a water treatment plant with a capacity of 40 cubic metres per hour, two clean water reservoirs, as well as the construction and replacement of water supply network sections on Dobromysl’anska and Chkalova streets in Liozno. The cost of construction and installation works amounted to over 2 million 80 thousand roubles.

The implementation of the investment project has not only increased the reliability of the water supply system and minimised cases of supplying water of inadequate quality to consumers in the district centre, but also provided the residents of the agro-town of Zubki, with a population of about 500 people, with high-quality drinking water that fully meets consumer properties.

Within the framework of the "Clean Water" investment programme, iron removal stations have been commissioned and are operating in Liozno District alone, providing high-quality drinking water to the residents of the settlements of Adamionki, Pushki, Kovali, Novoe Selo, Chernoruchye, Vysocany, Kryнки.
