From September 1945 to December 1946 only throe teats were made at the
filtration plant that did ant meet the require tints of the colt titration

The establishment of the fact of the deterioration of the hater in the

of this decline in the standard, and then to develop vigcrarns ccun-rzrueasures.
To achieve this gaol, the whoa city was divided into sectors taking into

In September 1946, in accordance with our suggestion, cleaning of the dead

A number of consultations with workers of both the water system and the
People's Commissarial of Economy (Komkhoz) permitted a more accurate picture of
the relationship between the soli titration standard of the water and the times
of release of water to various parts of the city, as well as the cleaning of
the system. Because crater was in short supply it was turned on for only a
limited number of home each day. As a result of this, stagnation of water
occurred -in terminal sections of the water system, and possibly there was book-
