Two courts declared the water supply agreement in Murashi invalid.

      In the fall of 2024, the administration of the Murashinsky district entered into an agreement with the company "Murashinsky Communal Systems Plus" for the provision of maintenance and servicing of water supply and sewage facilities. The contractor began its duties, started servicing the facilities, signing contracts with the population, and charging fees.

      After some time, the regional prosecutor's office filed a lawsuit in the Arbitration Court of the Kirov region against the administration and the aforementioned company. It demanded that the agreement be declared invalid and that the property be returned to the municipality, stating that the agreement was concluded without conducting a tender, as required by law. Thus, according to the supervisory authority, the rights and interests of the municipality and other market participants were violated.

      The court of first instance, agreeing with the prosecutor's arguments, granted the claim, declared the agreement invalid, and ordered the company to return the property to the administration. The company filed an appeal. The Second Arbitration Appeal Court upheld the decision.
