Water Supply Rehabilitation Works under Implementation in Telavi Municipality and Village Kurdghelauri
The Municipal Development Fund of Georgia of the Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure of Georgia is implementing Telavi municipality and village Kurdghelauri water supply rehabilitation project. The works are funded by the European Investment Bank with co-financing from the Government of Georgia. Total project cost amounts to GEL 7,052,133. First Deputy Minister of Regional Development and Infrastructure of Georgia, Ilia Darchiashvili and Executive Director of the Municipal Development Fund of Georgia, Juansher Burchuladze were visiting the project site.
1500 households residing in the village Kurdghelauri are supplied with water only once a week for one hour, though due to the considerably damaged network, it cannot be used as drinking water. Therefore, the local population extracts potable water from individually arranged wells. As a result of project implementation, the village Kurdghelauri inhabitants will have the water supply problem solved.
The Telavi Municipality is also facing water supply-related difficulties, part of the population is supplied with water according to the 5-6 hour schedule, the rest – according to the 8-10 hour schedule. Following water supply project completion, Telavi residents will benefit from improved water supply system and water quality.
Under the project, a depreciated network with total length of 70km will be subjected to rehabilitation, 3 new reservoirs will be built, and one reservoir will undergo rehabilitation. 2 new wells will be arranged as well. Rehabilitation works commenced in July of current year and will be completed in 2016. The project is being implemented by the “Trust Neftgas Tikinti” LTD.
