Decentralization of water supply and backup water sources

Summary

The current legislative framework is considered in terms of providing centralized and decentralized water supply in the Russian Federation for the purpose of water delivery and improvement of drinking water quality. The criteria for establishing backup water sources at the existing and newly constructed facilities, including critically important ones, are given. The criteria for classifying facilities as critically important are analyzed with account of damage ranking by emergency situations, sanitary protection conditions and sanitary and hygienic standards for the arrangement of underground water supply sources used as primary sources and backup ones. The amendments introduced into CP 31.13330.2021 are presented, formulated on the basis of the conclusions of the fundamental scientific study «Scientific foundations of the concept of decentralization of water delivery to the population of the Russian Federation with a justification for the feasibility of transition to higher quality water – physiologically complete – be means of self-contained water preparation systems».
