The court ordered the administration of Luza to address the water supply.

      A businessman owned a water treatment plant, a pumping station, sewage system, and other facilities — through them, the residents of the city received water and sewage services. In 2024, he warned the administration of the Luzhsky district that he planned to cease operations of the facilities and requested either permission to decommission them, or to buy everything out, or to lease them. The agency did not respond in time. Then the entrepreneur turned to the arbitration court of the Kirov region. The first instance denied him, believing there were no grounds. However, the Second Arbitration Court of Appeal overturned this decision and granted the businessman’s demands. The court stated that the administration had unlawfully remained silent, and the delays in water supply and sewage services violated the rights of both the residents and the applicant himself. The higher court upheld this decision.
