Description
The sub-operation aims at provision of potable water to Mykolaiv City.
Objectives
The sub-operation is focused on restoring Mykolaiv City's access to potable water after severe damage to its supply infrastructure caused by Russian military actions in 2022 and the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam in 2023. This effort falls under the Ukraine Municipal Infrastructure Programme (2011-0487), supported by a EUR 400 million framework loan signed in 2015. With the city left without a reliable source of safe drinking water, the sub-operation prioritizes emergency and efficiency measures to re-establish a centralized water supply in Mykolaiv, aiming to quickly resolve the ongoing crisis and meet the population's basic needs.
