LOGOISK, 7 January (BelTA) – The city of Minsk will fully switch to artesian wells within days. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko mentioned it as an example of the people-first policy as he visited a church in Logoisk, Minsk Oblast on Orthodox Christmas, 7 January, BelTA has learned.
As an example Aleksandr Lukashenko mentioned that the last few tens of artesian wells would be commissioned soon in order to help supply Minsk with water from underground sources. “We’ve dug out 90 wells in order to fully supply Minsk with clean water,” he said. The president explained that Minsk uses a total of over 400,000m3 of water per day and it had been necessary to secure additional water supply from underground sources to the tune of 120,000-130,000m3.
“For whom do we do it? For our own nation. Frankly speaking, we didn’t have to do it,” the president noted. And many countries use water from sources on the ground.
“But we’ve done it. Because I know that people will remember it forever. And they will be grateful. Because air, water, and our food are the foundation of life. Not medications. But these things. Air and water are the things people cannot live without,” the head of state concluded.
