Vodokanal (Yekaterinburg)

• Since December 20, 1925 - Management of the Sverdlovsk city water supply system;
• From January 1, 1938 - the Trust "Water Utilities";
• Since 1943 - Production Administration of the water supply and sewage system;
• Since 1976 - Production Association of Plumbing and Sewer;
• Since August 1, 1993 - Municipal Enterprise “Vodokanal”;
• Since June 1, 1999 - the Yekaterinburg Municipal Unitary Enterprise of Water Supply and Sewer Facilities (Municipal Unitary Enterprise Vodokanal).

For the first time, the conversation about creating an urban water supply system came in 1876 and was the subject of discussion in the City Duma. It was then, in mid-June, that the project of merchant Jacob Kaminer on the installation of a water supply system was heard. The merchant offered to take water from the city ​​pond , and arrange a water intake near the house of the Chief Manager of the mining plants (now the square in front of the Drama Theater) . The author proposed to extend the main pipes through the city for 15-20 versts. The discussion of the project dragged on for more than 30 years. They repeatedly returned to him, considering other incoming proposals. During this time, Weiblat railway engineer, Panikovsky, Pavlovsky and Yekaterinburg Water Pipeline Partnerships offered their ideas.

Views on the future water supply were very different. Some relied on the keys available in the city, others on open reservoirs within the city or the installation of artesian wells. Discussing the submitted projects, the City Duma made the same decision each time: "The installation of a water supply system in Yekaterinburg is currently extremely difficult due to insufficient funds."

In addition, members of the City Duma believed that the issue of water supply in Yekaterinburg was resolved through water transport and numerous springs and springs overlooking the street surface. The most famous at that time was the Malakhovsky key. This key was located approximately at the intersection of the current streets of Engels and Sonya Morozova. In the 80s of the 19th century there was a water tank, where there were two hand pumps. Then they were replaced by steam, and by the beginning of the 20th century - by electric ones. There were several similar water tanks in the city. Back in 1922 , except for Malakhovsky, such tanks towered on Kokovinskaya Square (now built up). There was another source rich in water - up to 70,000 buckets per day. It was located on the territory of the Novo-Tikhvin Monastery in the Green Grove. They "drank" most of Yekaterinburg, giving out for distribution not one ten thousand buckets a day.

The outbreak of revolutionary events, and then the civil war, pushed aside the issue of water supply. But in the newspaper Uralsky Rabochiy dated February 4, 1922 there was information that in the city "water sources for the construction of a water supply system were being researched." In mid- 1923, water surveys in the granite pits surrounding the city led to the Great Horse Peninsula on the Verkh-Isetsky Pond . In 1924, the planning committee of the District Executive Committee developed a draft, which was sent to Moscow with a special delegation. A representative came from the capital, examined the reservoir and approved the choice. At that time, about 140 thousand people lived in the city and its suburbs, 15759 houses were counted.

The construction of a water supply system has become a nation-wide affair. Magazine No. 11, “ Comrade Terenty, ” wrote at that time: “The working people have firmly embarked on the creation of a new life, and not only the working people of Sverdlovsk, but the whole Urals should know how the construction of the water supply system is moving.” In June 1925, in a festive atmosphere, the foundation of the water tower was laid.

December 20, 1925 there was a grand opening of the water supply. The first to receive water were the inhabitants of Verkh-Isetsk. Here is what the Ural Worker newspaper wrote on December 22, 1925 : “An early frosty morning. From the city on smooth ice of the Verkh-Isetsky pond rush: wagons, sledges, cars, walk, walking, jumping from the cold running kids - to the Horse Peninsula. Here is a great celebration; water pipe opens. Representatives of party, Soviet, professional organizations, workers and their wives gathered in a water pump chamber. From here, water will flow through the iron arteries of the working area. Pre-Council of Comrade Klepatsky opens the rally. On behalf of all the working people of Sverdlovsk and the workers of the Verkh-Isetsky plant, I congratulate you on the great joy of the working people: the water supply system is open. And in response to the words of Comrade Klepatsky's engine buzzed, the belts spun, and the pump went into motion. "I splashed, rustled, and water rumbled through the pipes."

On the day the water supply was opened, the pump supplied 100,000 buckets of water per day, 14 water booths received water from four wells, a tank with a capacity of 30,000 buckets was built to store water, pipes underground had a length of 16.5 versts, a small filter station (the first stage of filters with vertical sumps). Water was supplied only in the daytime.

So the development of the Head water supply facilities was begun.

Since that time, the Vodokanal Municipal Unitary Enterprise of the city of Yekaterinburg has its history.

By 1930, the following were built: a pumping station of the first rise, with a water intake from the Verkh-Isetsky pond ; the second stage of filters with vertical sumps; second lift pumping station with pumps of 14 VAT and 16 VAT brands and two 500 m ³ clean water tanks. Productivity was 17 thousand m ³ . Water was supplied to the city through two water pipes with a diameter of 300 mm and two water pipes with a diameter of 600 mm.

In 1934, the third line of filters with vertical sumps was put into operation, and in 1943 the fourth.

In 1940, liquid chlorine, supplied in cylinders, was used for water chlorination (until this time, water was chlorinated with a solution of chlorine liquid).

In 1943, a coagulation kitchen was built, aluminum sulfate is used for water treatment, but only in the warm season of the year - from May to October. The filtration rate was measured by hourglass.

The valve control was manual, there was no mechanization, all work was done manually. Since 1952, the electrification of valve control began.

In 1960, the fifth and sixth stages of the filter station and clean water tanks with a volume of 2400 and 1800 m ^{3 were} launched.

In 1965, a second-stage pumping station was put into operation with 22 mark VAT pumps.

Horizontal settling tanks for filters of the fifth and sixth stages were put into operation in 1968 simultaneously with the premises of the reagent farm. Chlorine is supplied in chlorine containers.

In 1981, water came from the Volchikhinsky reservoir to the water main facilities. Two clean water tanks with a volume of 10,000 m ³ each were built in 1985 and 1986. Two water ducts with a diameter of 1200 mm were commissioned. The new chlorination building was built and commissioned in 1996 .

In 1997, BOPAK-E aluminum oxychloride and the Praestol-650TR flocculant were used year-round for water treatment. The use of new reagents significantly improves water quality in all key indicators.

Since 2000, in the summer, water has been post-monmonized in tanks, ensuring good water quality according to bacteriological indicators.

“During the grand opening of the water supply system in 1925, a representative of the financial department of the city administration comrade Ivanov asked not to forget that the city needed another pipe system - sewage. Without these branch pipes, the significance of the water supply system is greatly diminished.

Zavohrmestkhoz comrade Yazovsky replied that a sewage project was already outlined, funds were already being sought. ”( Ural Worker newspaper , December 22, 1925 ).

The first sewer networks in Sverdlovsk were built in 1928 from the Central Hotel on ul. Malysheva to the street Gorky .

The start of the central sewage system took place on January 28, 1930 . It was built 10 km of networks and treatment facilities in the region of the Chelyabinsk railway.

The average headcount of MUP Vodokanal as of 01.01.2013 is 3872.5 people.

Water supply in the city of Yekaterinburg is a complex set of engineering structures and processes, conventionally divided into three components:

1. Raw water intake from water sources and transportation to water treatment plants;
2. Water treatment in accordance with sanitary rules and regulations;
3. Transportation of drinking water to consumers in residential buildings, to the city’s enterprises and heat supply sources and the provision of fire-fighting needs of the city.

The share of water supply services provided by Municipal Unitary Enterprise Vodokanal (the city of Yekaterinburg) is 87%. The main source of water supply for the city ​​of Yekaterinburg is the hydraulic cascade of the Verkhnemakarovsky and Volchikhinsky reservoirs on the Chusovaya River . Additional sources are the Revda, Novomariinsky reservoirs on the Revda river and the Nyazepetrovsk reservoir on the Ufa river with a cascade of pumping stations. The emergency source is the Verkh-Isetskii pond on the Iset River . The filtering stations of Municipal Unitary Enterprise Vodokanal play a barrier role in the purification of raw water from natural and man-made pollution and are the main guarantor of supplying the population with safe drinking water in all respects with the appropriate biological, chemical and organoleptic indicators. There are 5 filter stations in the city:

• Western filtering station;
• Head water supply facilities;
• Filter Station Sorting;
• Filter station in Isoplit ;
• Filtering station in Severka .

The current total maximum capacity of filter stations for pure water is 616.8 thousand m ³ / day. After filtering stations, drinking water is distributed along main pipelines to the districts of the city where it is supplied to consumers through pumping stations of the third and fourth rises through quarterly and street pipelines. The total length of water supply networks in single pipe terms as of January 1, 2013 is 1,653.9 km (taking into account external water transfer paths from the Nyazepetrovsky hydroelectric complex) . The water supply networks and facilities located in remote suburban villages are also under the economic jurisdiction of Municipal Unitary Enterprise Vodokanal. Water supply of villages is carried out from underground water intakes ( artesian wells) .

The drainage of the city of Yekaterinburg is a complex set of engineering structures and processes, conventionally divided into three components:

1. Collection and transportation of domestic wastewater from the population and enterprises of the city, non-normatively treated industrial wastewater from industrial enterprises, by gravity and pressure sewage collectors to urban aeration stations. Additionally, there is an unorganized flow of storm and melt water into the sewage network with an underdeveloped city storm sewage system;
2. Treatment and disposal of sewage sludge.
3. Mechanical and biological treatment of incoming wastewater at aeration stations and discharge of treated wastewater into water bodies.

Geographically, in the city ​​of Yekaterinburg there are two main sewage basins:

• Severny: effluents from planning areas of Ordzhonikidzevsky , Sadovy and Industrial zones Apparatnaya are transported to the Northern Aeration Station (the current capacity of the Northern Aeration Station is 100 thousand m ³ / day);
• Yuzhny: drains from other residential areas of the city of Yekaterinburg through courtyard, street, intra-quarter sewer networks and main suburban collectors are transported to the South aeration station (the current capacity of the South aeration station is 550 thousand m ³ / day).

There are also local sewage basins in remote areas of the city of Yekaterinburg (autonomous drainage systems). The drainage networks of the Municipal Formation “City of Yekaterinburg” are a complex engineering system, including: external drainage networks, sewage pumping stations , siphons and aqueducts . The total length of sewer networks in single pipe terms as of January 1, 2013 is 1275 km.
