THE PROBLEM OF WASTEWATER PURIFICATION IN THE SYSTEM OF HOUSING-COMMUNAL SERVICES OF ORENBURG REGION
The water quality in surface water bodies of the Orenburg region, which water resources are limited, has been studied. It is shown that the Orenburg region is one of the subjects of the Russian Federation with extremely high pollution of surface waters. The main source of water bodies’ pollution in the region is insufficiently purified wastewaters discharged by enterprises of housing and communal services. Recommendations to ensure the standard treatment of wastewaters have been developed. According to the authors, the main role in solution of the above problem can be played by modern sewage treatment systems with an average performance of 4-8 thousand m3/day, having been created in every large populated locality. The need to take legislative, administrative and organizational measures to stimulate the development of the sector of ecological services for wastewater purification in order to maintain the aquatic ecosystems, as well as to increase the investment attractiveness of ecological projects of water treatment by applying totally new technologies has been substantiated.
