"This summer we will have to suffer a little." Kletsk has water problems, chalk in the ground complicated drilling
Kletsk is short on water, especially in the evenings. A new well is being drilled, 300 meters deep. But the work is only half done so far.
"At the moment, 50% of the work has been completed," Aliaksei Dashkevich, head of Kletsk's water supply workshop, told the newspaper "To New Victories". "The well is very deep; we don't have any like it yet," he added.
The site for it was chosen right next to the pumping station on Peramohi Street, to avoid wasting time and energy on water transportation.
The work is being carried out by the Vitebsk LLC "ZahadVadBud", which won the tender. Work began in early May, but the deadlines have already diverged from the plan: the object's passport promised to complete drilling in May.
The delay is due to geological surprises. "In our subsoil, at a certain depth, it wasn't the right soil: neither sand nor loam, but some chalk deposits," Dashkevich explains.
The well is planned to be 300 meters deep — three times deeper than typical city wells, which means twice as much work. However, the planned productivity will be 70 cubic meters of water per hour, which will cover almost half of the city's needs.
Meanwhile, the people of Kletsk will have to endure a little longer.
"This summer we still need to endure a little," Aliaksei Dashkevich addresses his compatriots. "Today it's still hot, but in a couple of weeks, it will rain, and this issue will become less relevant."
During hot weather, water consumption in Kletsk reaches 200 cubic meters per hour, and the 2000-ton reservoir is completely depleted within a day — which is why water sometimes disappears for several hours at night, and in high-rise buildings and elevated private sectors, there may not be enough pressure at all.
Under the publication, readers are asking whether the builders will pay a penalty for missed deadlines and why the water problem has escalated precisely now.
