President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, attended the inauguration of the Shusha water treatment plant complex.
During the event, Chairman of the Azerbaijan State Water Resources Agency, Zaur Mikayilov, briefed the President on the project.
As part of the Emergency Measures Program, water supply to Shusha was restored on November 25, 2020. To ensure consistent water quality, the existing water treatment plant underwent reconstruction, increasing its capacity from 2,000 to 5,000 cubic meters per day. The upgraded plant now meets all quality standards, providing continuous water supply to over 3,500 residents, workers, and visitors.
Future plans include constructing a modern water treatment plant capable of sustainably supplying Shusha with 8,000 cubic meters per day, along with three water reservoirs totaling 6,000 cubic meters. Construction of one reservoir is currently underway.

A comprehensive project has been developed to reconstruct water supply, sewage, and stormwater systems in alignment with Shusha's development plans until 2040. This initiative aims to meet the city's average daily water demand of 105 liters per second. Drinking water will be sourced from existing Small Kirs and Zarisly sources, as well as the Zarisly River reservoir.
In accordance with the city's Master Plan, the project includes the construction of 24 kilometers of main water lines, 44 kilometers of drinking water pipelines, 42 kilometers of sewage networks, and 41 kilometers of stormwater networks. An 8,000 cubic meter reservoir will be built for treating and neutralizing city wastewater, ensuring environmental integrity by diverting treated water to the Karkar River. The newly developed infrastructure in Shusha will operate on a "Smart Water" system. This includes online regulation of water extraction, transportation, reservoir levels, hydraulic regimes, and other processes through SCADA systems.
President Ilham Aliyev formally inaugurated the Shusha water treatment complex.
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev welcomed the heads of state and government participating in the Informal Summit of the Heads of State of the Organization of Turkic States in Shusha on July 6.
