Currently, the construction of the water supply system is underway at six sites, and the work is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. The project was launched in 2023, and funding has already been allocated for its implementation. However, there are currently no funds for the construction of six more sections. The new water pipeline is being laid in parallel to the existing one to avoid blockages during pipe replacement and not to interrupt the work of Mykolaivvodokanal.

In Mykolaiv, local government representatives recently met with the newly appointed head of the State Agency for Infrastructure Recovery and Development of Ukraine, Sergiy Sukhomlyn, to discuss the restoration of the city's water supply system. The meeting focused on restoring drinking water supply in the city.

In April, the Government allocated UAH 125.5 million from the state budget reserve fund for water supply in Mykolaiv. The funding will be provided under the relevant budget program from the state budget reserve fund.
