The Prime Minister of Armenia has stated that the water supply system in Armenia is widely deteriorated and serious investments are needed there. Nikol Pashinyan mentioned this during a press briefing following a government meeting, responding to a question from an «Armenpress»- correspondent regarding another case of intestinal poisoning due to water contamination in the community of Byureghavan.
«The responses must be substantiated, and both «Veolia Water» and other responsible bodies must draw conclusions. Necessary decisions need to be made. The issue is not just about investment. Sometimes it seems to us that by installing pipes, we have solved the problem, but if all of this is not subject to daily maintenance, we will face the same problems again. Serious investments are needed for daily maintenance. Moreover, risk management is also included in the tariffs. We must confront the issue and be guided by standards. All processes must be included in the tariff so that we can ensure quality service for daily water supply in the long term,» said the Prime Minister of Armenia.
