Currently, only 50 percent of the population has access to sewage services. As a result of the implementation of the program, this figure should increase to 95 percent, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said at a meeting dedicated to the State Program for the improvement of water supply, wastewater, and stormwater systems in Baku and the Absheron Peninsula for 2026–2035, APA reports.
"As soon as heavy rains fall, urban transport becomes paralyzed, and very serious problems arise. This is not only the case in Baku or Azerbaijan—we see it on television everywhere in the world. Floods have become commonplace even in the cities of the most developed countries. No city infrastructure can handle several days of heavy and incessant rain. However, despite this, we still have quite a few weaknesses in this area. Therefore, a new collector network will be built on 30 streets of Baku for rainwater management, which will be of great benefit," the head of state emphasized.
