Villagers near Volgograd complained of new water supply interruptions.

Residents of the village of Zaplavnoye in the Leninsky District of the Volgograd Region recorded a video message to Putin and Bastrykin complaining about the lack of water supply. According to the villagers, appeals to the local administration went unanswered.

As reported by Kavkazsky Uzel, in January, homes in the village of Zaplavnoye in the Leninsky District of the Volgograd Region were without heating and water for several days. The villagers then called on the authorities to involve the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the military in resolving the problem.

A video message from residents of the village of Zaplavnoye was published on the Volgograd Telegram channel, which has over 107,000 subscribers. By 8:30 PM Moscow time today, the post had garnered over six thousand views.

"We're already crying out for help. It's 35 degrees Celsius outside, and we've been without water in our taps for four days. It's a trickle," says a woman in the video, standing surrounded by about 15 other local residents.

According to the villagers, the water pressure only increases late in the evening, after 10:00 PM. The local administration explains this by saying that village residents water their vegetable gardens and orchards during the day, which is why there is no water pressure during the day. The petitioners claim that "people have nothing left to water," as local residents have stopped planting their gardens and orchards due to the lack of water.

"We can't wash our washing machines, we can't even bathe our children because the water heaters won't turn on. We can't even wash our bedridden patients. Please help us, give us back our water. We want to live in civilization," the villagers stated.

Local residents added that they came to the rally on May 9th to honor the memory of their ancestors who fought for a happy life, but they don't feel that happiness because they lack basic living conditions. "We would like to add that we have repeatedly appealed to the head of the rural settlement, but our appeals have been fruitless. Either there is no money, or something else is missing," the participants complained.

The villagers also emphasized in their appeal that in January they lived without water for three days due to burnt-out pumps. At that time, local residents attempted to restore the water supply themselves. The participants expressed concern that water outages would continue in the future.

The "Caucasian Knot" also reported that in February, residents of Kotovo experienced yet another outage with water and heating. According to the residents, the authorities are failing to address the problem of the dilapidated water supply network.
