According to the project description, to facilitate the construction of new wells, the Kherson Regional Military Administration applied paragraph 5 of the Procedure for the Implementation of the Pilot Water Supply Project, approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 771 of July 25, 2023.

This clause allowed for work to be carried out under martial law without registration of land plots, urban planning documentation, expert opinions and construction permits, as well as without using the Unified State Electronic System in the field of construction and environmental impact assessment. This approach has significantly simplified measures aimed at restoring water supply in the region.

The project budget is UAH 68 million 900 thousand.
