UPDATE: Hundreds of residents in Yerevan’s Nork Administrative District are threatening to take drastic measures due to a severe water shortage. The crisis, impacting over 100 residential buildings along Vilnius Street, has persisted for nearly a month, with residents left without reliable water service.
Residents reported their frustrations to photojournalist Gagik Shamshyan earlier today, stating that their desperate calls to Veolia Water have gone unanswered. Initially, the company acknowledged the issue but has since ceased communication. “For the first ten days, they responded to our calls, but now we get no answers,” one resident lamented, emphasizing the desperation felt by those affected.
The situation has escalated to a point where residents feel abandoned. “We’re paying for services, yet we receive nothing in return,” another resident exclaimed. The lack of water supply is particularly critical in a modern urban environment, leading to growing anger and calls for immediate resolution.
Despite daily alerts to Veolia Water, the company’s representatives have reportedly claimed that water is being supplied regularly. However, residents dispute this assertion, insisting that their needs are being ignored. The ongoing neglect has sparked discussions among the community about potential protests or further actions to demand accountability.
As of now, residents are preparing to escalate their grievances if the situation does not improve. “We may have no choice but to take more drastic measures,” a resident warned, highlighting the emotional toll this crisis has taken on families struggling to meet basic needs.
Authorities are urged to address this urgent issue before it spirals further. The situation in Yerevan serves as a reminder of the critical importance of reliable public utilities in urban settings. What will happen next remains to be seen, but residents are determined to make their voices heard.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
