YEREVAN, June 10. /ARKA/. Operator of water supply in Yerevan, the company Yerevan-Jur can not name the reasons and guilties of outburst of intestinal infection till the end of investigation on this case, says Director of Communications and Client Relations of Yerevan-Jur Gagik Markaryan.
From June 3 to June 7 about 60 patients with intestinal disorders were taken to Yerevan hospital “Nork”. According to Health Ministry of Armenia, the reason of the outburst of infection is causative agent of dysentery (S flexneri 3a) and enterovirus. In this regard, a case was instituted in Erebuni police investigation department based on the article 279 of criminal code (production or consumption of goods, implementation of activities or provision of
services not corresponding to the requirements of life security or health of consumers).
“Yerevan-Jur” is not the organization which is entitled to deny or approve something. Water and tubes are taken for investigation. Specialists will announce the results of investigation which will allow to name the guilties”, said Markaryan.
Water supply in Nubarashen district is implemented from Garni water canal which provides water to 12-13% of Yerevan. “Nubarashen is not limited by the 11th street and there were no problems in other streets… They had local problems”, said Markaryan.

During the last 10 years, 133 km or 6.3% networks were changed. “There is physical depreciation of water supply network. Average age of tubes is 40 years and there are sections with very old tubes”, said Markaryan. According to calculations, $600 million will be needed for reconstruction of the whole system.
