As a result of the incident, the excavation site was flooded, and some residents of the microdistrict were left without access to drinking water.
According to residents' statements, the construction is being carried out without the necessary permits. "It is unclear on what basis they are conducting the work. There is not even an object passport," the appeal states.
Statement from "Bishkekvodokanal"
The Municipal Enterprise "Bishkekvodokanal" provided comments on this issue. The agency noted that the pipeline damage occurred during the construction of an additional building for secondary school No. 72."Due to non-compliance with the necessary distances during excavation work, there was a soil collapse, which led to the collapse of a 250 mm diameter pipeline and a water leak," reported "Bishkekvodokanal".
According to their information, after receiving the report, an emergency team immediately went to the site to conduct an inspection and localize the emergency.
"To stop further leakage, the pipeline was shut off from the east and west. This line will be relocated by OsOO 'Goha Group', as it is located in the construction zone," the representatives of the enterprise added.
In "Bishkekvodokanal", it was emphasized that the supply of drinking water continues as usual, as the system is looped.
The Ministry of Construction informed Kaktus.media that on March 1, during excavation work for the construction of an additional building for secondary school No. 72 in the "Jal" residential area, a section of the water pipeline was damaged.
In connection with this, the relevant services and an emergency team were called to the site, which began restoration work. Currently, work is being completed to eliminate the technical malfunction and restore the pipeline.
"It should be noted that during excavation work, such technical incidents can occur. An additional factor is the wear and tear of some engineering networks in this area. The Ministry conducts constant monitoring of construction and compliance with safety standards. The provision of drinking water to residents is under the control of the relevant services, and all necessary measures are being taken," the agency's statement said.
Let us remind you that a new additional educational building for secondary school No. 72, designed for 750 places, is being constructed in this area. The start of construction work was recorded in January of this year.
