Reconstruction
In 2007 beganrenovation of the facility, for which 2 billion rubles were allocated. It was planned that the work would take 6 years, but the wave of the economic crisis struck, which prevented the timely implementation of the plan, so the event was delayed. The fishermen are not bothered by this. They continue to come to the reservoir and on the coast of the rivers flowing into it to get a wonderful catch. The same goes for hunters.
The reason that prompted the authorities to take decisive action was the strong deterioration of the object. His condition was more of a threat than a benefit and protection from the influence of floods. At the moment, it is believed that the project will be completed in 2017. But this is in the event that the deadlines are not rescheduled again.
The amount required for the work has increased to 2.42 billion rubles. For the local budget, this is quite an impressive investment. The money is in some way "hanging in the air", because the funds have already been spent, and the long-awaited result is still not there.
Reason for delay
Now the facility is 50% ready, as announced at a meeting dedicated to the "long-term construction" in the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation. It doesn't sound very encouraging, given that the deadline has already been postponed twice. Such work with a stretch can be called operational.
In 2010, a lawsuit was initiated in this regard in court, during which the order of actions of the customer and contractors of the project was investigated. It turned out that the parties entered into a secret agreement, according to which they stole and divided the money invested in financing. They were also taken from the 2008 tranche. It is interesting that he knew about thisRosfinnadzor, for some reason kept silent about its observation.
Only a year later, the information reached law enforcement agencies. The perpetrators were given disciplinary action, certainly too little punishment for such speculation.
One can only hope that law enforcement agencies will be more vigilant and contribute to the speedy reconstruction of this wonderful place that brings a lot of pleasure and benefit to visitors.
