The construction of a 78-kilometer main water pipeline connecting Chirkey, Makhachkala and Kaspiysk is set to significantly modernize the water supply infrastructure in Dagestan capital and surrounding districts.
The new pipeline's completion in 2026 will enable the full decommissioning of the aging October Revolution Canal, which served as the primary water source for Makhachkala and Kaspiysk for many years.
Funded through an infrastructure budget loan and initiated in 2022, this project boasts a capacity of 176,000 cubic meters per day and is projected to provide clean drinking water to over 900,000 residents within the urban agglomeration. The retired ORC channel will be repurposed for agricultural irrigation, aligning with its original intended use.
According to the regional Ministry of Construction, the new pipeline will not only enhance the reliability of water supply but also create a favorable environment for housing development, coastal tourism expansion and the integrated growth of urban areas by replacing outdated infrastructure.
