Fountain in place of water-pump in Kramyanets village, Lahoisk District

of the village.

The season of fountains has started in Kramyanets village, Lahoisk District, a few months earlier than in the capital. The fountain is the water-pump providing almost half of the village with water. You cannot keep your clothes dry while getting water from it.

Euroradio informed about the “problem” water-pump in Kramyanets last July. It was leaking a lot then and the water was mixed with mud, sand and rubbish.

However, villager Sofya Mardas has informed that the situation did not change even after Euroradio’s report and numerous complaints sent to the local authorities.

Sofya Mardas: “We complained about it last autumn, we sent requests everywhere. But nobody did anything. We tried to stop the holes from one side and from the top – it lasted for a while. But it has broken through now: there is a fountain and it is scary to look at”.

In the woman’s opinion, it is not difficult to solve the problem. However, nobody needs it for some reason.

The collective farm the water-pump that has become a fountain in Kramyanets belongs to is the limited company “SNB-Agro”. However, when Euroradio phoned the director’s secretary, it was said that it was impossible to solve the problem of the water-pump in Kramyanets and to find out what water system it belonged to and who had to repair it.

Secretary: “Only the deputy director could solve the problem – he dealt with it all. He was responsible for the towers (water towers - Euroradio) and for the whole system. But he left the position on April 10. Nobody has been appointed yet”.

The director, Victar Barysevich, says that he is dedicating all his time to the sowing campaign. He is almost always away. That is why it is difficult to say when he will get the time, desire and an opportunity to deal with the water-pump in Kramyanets. If at all.
