The prosecutor's office is looking into the prolonged water outage in Kaspiysk.

Telegram users are outraged that the Kaspiysk administration is failing to inform residents about the progress of city water main repairs and the timeline for resuming water supply to their homes. The prosecutor's office promised to provide a legal assessment of the situation.

"Caucasian Knot" reported that on January 8, Kaspiysk residents complained about a prolonged water outage. According to residents, there has been no water in their homes for about a week, and numerous appeals to Gorvodokanal and the city administration have remained unanswered.

The Kaspiysk mayor's office officially published information about water supply problems in a significant part of the city only after residents posted a video message, according to users in the administration's Telegram channel. Before officials first reported the problem, they had been posting comments about the multi-day water shortage under a post about utility payment deadlines for December.

“There's no water on many streets in the city. Why aren't the administration and the mayor providing information to residents? Why are you doing nothing?” user Karim Guseinov asked.

“You're writing well about paying for utilities. Also, write that there's been no water for almost a week, and that neither the administration nor the mayor are doing anything. I don't know who works there, but the problem hasn't been fixed for a week. A new water line could be installed in a week,” Zaira Alieva complained.

“What services should we even pay for? There's been no water for five days now, and the heating barely warms the room,” wrote Saniyat Gazalieva.

Later, the administration informed residents that water would be delivered, and two machines from the "Living Water" network would dispense water free of charge until the water main break was repaired. "Will they also get heating?" Khadizhat Magomedrasulova asked ironically.

"I'm tired of this chaos! How long can they torment us? They've simply tormented us with power and water! It's the 21st century, and we live as if we're in the Stone Age! People are tired from work and want to bathe, cook, and wash their clothes!" Gulya complained.

"A normal city mayor, after a pipeline emergency that left half the city without water, would have gone to the scene, assembled emergency teams, and overseen all the work. Ours is nowhere to be seen or heard," wrote kam kam.

The Dagestan Prosecutor's Office responded to the situation in Kaspiysk on the evening of January 8. The agency stated that it was monitoring the authorities' efforts to restore the water supply. "Compliance with water supply legislation will be assessed. The progress of restoration work and respect for citizens' rights in the housing and utilities sector are being monitored," the agency's statement read.
