Residents of Sokolovka are complaining about poor water supply.

      Tenants of houses No. 7 and No. 9 on Tsentralnaya Street in Sokolovka village suffer from water supply problems. Those living on the second floor are especially affected. People can only wash and do laundry at night: washing machines can only be used occasionally due to low water pressure. Maksim, a third-group disabled person, shared with representatives of the Kirov regional branch of the All-Russian People's Front that he constantly has to spend his family budget on visits to the bathhouse or travel to relatives in the district center. According to him, residents have repeatedly appealed to the local and district administrations. They are told that the problem is with the water tower or that previous repair works are to blame. According to activists, more than five years ago, the administration repaired the water supply from the main network to these houses. The money was collected from the residents themselves, and the contractor signed a direct contract with them, but no explanations were given to the residents. As a result, the work was carried out, money was spent, but the situation did not improve. The All-Russian People's Front found out that the authorities blame the residents themselves, claiming that insufficient funds were collected, leading the contractor to install a pipe with a smaller diameter. OFRF expert Dmitry Sergeev added that the estimate was prepared in advance. The contribution amount for each household was calculated based on it. The contractor was not authorized to change the pipe diameter on their own, as the parameters must be specified in the project and contract. Currently, the administration states that if local residents are willing and able, they can contribute again, and the problem will be resolved, but water supply organization is the responsibility of local government bodies. Activists have sent a request to the prosecutor's office for an inspection of the documentation and to determine who was at fault for residents spending their money. Additionally, the OFRF representatives demanded that authorities establish a proper water supply system.
