Mikun's ageing water pipes to be replaced in 1.85M-ruble upgrade

A 480-metre stretch of worn-out water pipes in Mikun will soon be replaced. The local council has opened a tender for the project, with an initial contract value of 1.85 million rubles. The work will use horizontal directional drilling to lay the new mains efficiently.

Companies interested in the contract must submit their documents by June 15. The bidding commission will then review all entries and announce the winning contractor on July 3.

The selected firm must start excavation by August 1, 2026. The entire project has a tight deadline—it must be finished within 60 calendar days, wrapping up by early October 2026. The upgrade aims to improve water supply reliability in the area. The new pipeline will replace ageing infrastructure that has been causing concerns for residents and local authorities.

Once completed, the new water mains will serve Mikun’s residents with a more dependable system. The project’s timeline ensures minimal disruption, with work concluding before the colder months. The council has set clear milestones to keep the replacement on track.
