Reconstruction of Mariupolhttps://t.me/rybar/38982https://i.ibb.co/Cbw6q2w/18-09-ENG.jpgMariupol recovery: status as of September 17, 2022
Against the backdrop of the approach of winter in the ruined Mariupol, the issue of preparing for the heating season is acute. How are things going with the restoration of the main networks and the housing stock of the city
Energy supply
In August-September, local services, together with Russian contractors, repaired the 220 kV Azovskaya substation. It was supplied with new transformer equipment from Russia.
Repair and restoration work was also carried out on the high-voltage lines "Starobeshevskaya TPP - Azovskaya No. 1, 2, 3", "Starobeshevskaya TPP - Smolyanka No. 1, No. 2". In the city itself, the main power supply networks and numbered substations "Gorod" were relaunched.
At the moment, we can talk about a sufficient restoration of electricity supply to Mariupol before the onset of cold weather. Residential consumers are connected to city networks as soon as they are ready, and work is underway to connect street lighting and the road network.
Water and gas supply
Following the launch of the power grid, pumping stations for water supply and sewerage were connected. Water purification and water treatment systems have been launched.
By the beginning of August, the following were connected to the water supply and sanitation in Mariupol:
Oktyabrsky district - 786 houses, 4 hospitals, 6 schools, 6 kindergartens;
Primorsky - 251 houses, 3 hospitals, 4 schools, 4 kindergartens;
Ilyichevsk - 407 housing stock, 2 hospitals, 5 schools, 5 kindergartens;
Ordzhonikidzevsky - 244 housing stock, 1 hospital, 3 schools, 2 kindergartens.
Part of the city's water supply networks were in disrepair even before the hostilities. Therefore, the general contractor represented by Lenmontazh also replaces worn-out communications - about a kilometer of main water supply networks near Kirov Square and 6 kilometers of an old sewer in the Oktyabrsky district.
Gas supply to the city has been restored: consumers from Mariupol and its suburbs are being gradually connected.
Construction and restoration of houses
Earlier we wrote (

https://t.me/rybar/38784) and the efforts of other teams to provide permanent housing for all those in need of heating season doesn't work.
Therefore, the city administration and Russian structures are already preparing a maneuverable housing stock. The Gipromez building, the Druzhba hotel, a hostel at 20 Kazantsev Street have been allocated for it. In the Primorsky and Oktyabrsky districts, five more hostels are being overhauled, the commissioning of the maneuverable fund is expected at the end of September-October.
The city is actively repairing educational institutions:
Schools No. 38, 60 and 65 opened on September 1;
The repair of schools No. 1, 7, 14, 27, 41, 64 will be completed by the end of autumn;
Kindergarten No. 114 was opened, kindergartens No. 32, 159 are being restored
Health facilities are being overhauled: a 60-bed polyclinic has been commissioned in the quarter of the RF Ministry of Defense, city hospitals, maternity hospital No. 2 are operating. The repair of polyclinic No. 3 is planned to be completed by November 30.
The brigades are demolishing especially dangerous structures and destroyed houses, which pose a threat to the lives of civilians, according to plan and upon request.
Despite the objective difficulties and the slow actions of the Russian bureaucratic machine, there are good reasons to believe that Mariupol will survive this winter. There will definitely be difficulties, but a large-scale humanitarian catastrophe in the city can still be avoided.
