Residents of East breathe in sewage fumes.

      Residents of Raduzhnaya and Tsvetochnaya Streets in Vostochny settlement reported that the local administration seemingly forgot about pumping out sewage. As a result, foul-smelling streams flow through the settlement.

      According to representatives of the Kirov branch of the All-Russian People's Front, this situation has been ongoing for several years. On two streets in the settlement, foul streams periodically flow — sludge is pouring from overfilled sewer manholes. Additionally, swarms of insects are now flying around, and an unpleasant sewage smell lingers.

      Residents of building No. 9 on Raduzhnaya Street are particularly affected. More than 30 years ago, there were plans to connect this three-story building to the centralized sewer system. Although some work began, it was ultimately abandoned before completion. Several manholes were constructed, but it was unclear who would maintain them. For many years, residents appealed to the administration for action, but to no avail.

      In 2024, community activists, with the help of prosecutors, succeeded in having the manholes transferred to the municipal balance. Now, a municipal contractor is responsible for their maintenance, and it seemed the problem was solved. However, after a year, the unfinished sewer section was forgotten again. Residents were offered to pump out the liquid waste themselves.

      Desperate local residents once again turned to the NPF for help. Activists contacted the Kotelnič District administration, which promised that the sewage from the manholes would be pumped out the next day, July 18. If nothing happens, the NPF will submit a repeat appeal to the prosecutor's office.
