The water intake serving Norakert settlement is located in Akunk village, it was built in 1981 and has never been repaired. At the moment, the catchment is in a bad condition, the outer walls are damaged, the covers are missing, the fence is missing, the pipes are corroded, the door valve is broken, the sanitary and hygienic conditions are not provided.

In these conditions, harmful substances from the external environment penetrate into the water supply, which is first of all dangerous for the health of the residents, and also there is a loss of drinking water from the decayed walls. As a result of the repair of the catchment, the necessary sanitary and hygienic conditions for domestic use of water will be ensured, water will be saved, which will increase the volume of supplied water.
