In the context of the repairs to the Central (Water) Purification Facility, Environment and Tourism Minister D.Oyunkhorol and other officials have been studying the current situation.

D.Oyunkhorol said – “The preparations for the repairs at the Central Purification Facility will start today at midnight and the repair work will commence at 10.00am. During this period, only tap water to beverage and beer plants and leather processing factories will be cut.

We will not cut water to apartments, kindergartens, schools, milk plants and bakeries”.

Under the plan, repair will take 24 hours after which 50% purified sewage will be released into the River Tuul.

The Mongolian Water and Waterways Authority is paying the MNT 40 million cost of repair.
