The Bucha community has started building the Havrylivka — Lubianka — Blystavytsia — Bucha — Vorzel water main. The network will run almost 20 kilometres.

This was announced by Bucha mayor Anatolii Fedoruk.

What is being built

The project includes two lines — two trunk mains that will connect the community's settlements.

Besides the pipes themselves, two pumping stations, two water treatment stations and clean water reservoirs will be built.

"Two lines, two trunk mains will connect our settlements, which will make it possible to supply our community with water reliably, in both quantity and quality," the mayor said.

Where the water will come from

The community links the region's future water supply to developing the Blystavytsia water intake.

Water is no abstract question here: some settlements still rely on boreholes and wells whose quality depends on the season.

Havrylivka, Lubianka and Blystavytsia are villages north of Bucha joining the centralised network for the first time.

Who pays

Funding will come from the state, regional and local budgets. The community will also seek international partners.

The municipal utility Buchaservice will receive credit guarantee funds to deliver the project on time.

Timing and disruption

The community expects to finish the main works by the end of this year, with part carrying over into the next.

The mayor warned of disruption, particularly in the village of Lubianka — the trunk main and its branches will run straight through the settlement.

According to Fedoruk, this is the optimal solution proposed by engineers and designers. Landscaping will be restored once the works are complete.

The work is being carried out under the community's Resilience Plan — the document guiding Bucha's critical infrastructure development.

As a reminder, Dmytrivka shut off its water supply for two days for disinfection.
