Veolia Water Reconstructs Water Pipelines in Akori Village, Lori Province Using Its Own Resources. Veolia Water is reconstructing water pipelines in Akori village, Lori Province, using its own resources. The water pipelines, originally built in the 1970s, no longer met operational requirements. In several sections, the pipeline was laid almost at road surface level instead of at the required depth, making it vulnerable to damage from passing vehicles. In addition, after decades of operation, the physically worn and corroded pipeline had become a frequent source of breakdowns. To provide a long-term solution, the Alaverdi Operations Unit is constructing approximately 700 metres of new steel water pipeline, which is being installed at a depth of one metre in accordance with current technical standards. Water meters serving 27 customers will also be relocated to the property boundary, making the system more efficient to operate and easier to monitor. Upon completion of the project, the improvements will be substantial. During the summer season, the volume of water required to supply the village will decrease to just 10–12 litres per second, compared with the previous 70–80 litres per second.Earlier, the Alaverdi Operations Unit had already reconstructed 1,700 metres of water pipeline in other parts of Akori village, benefiting 58 customers. As a result, consumers now enjoy a continuous 24-hour water supply with stable pressure, while the Veolia Team operates a reliable system free of breakdowns and customer complaints.
