As a representative of our community, I signed an agreement with officials of the United Nations Develment Program. This document provides for the reconstruction of water supply networks in one of the most problematic areas of the city, the purchase of a generator for uninterrupted water supply, repair of the water pumping station and landscaping of the surrounding area," Ananko said.
