Huge puddle traps Volgograd apartment residents in entrance
Residents are forced to wade through the puddle.
Residents of the four-story building No. 32 on Dzerzhinsky Street in Volgograd have once again appealed to communal services to solve the problem of yard flooding. After every heavy rain, the area near the entrance turns into an impassable swamp, forcing locals to use rubber boots or find detours.
To overcome the water obstacle, makeshift means are used.
“This problem occurs regularly, as soon as it rains or the snow starts to melt,” residents of the building lament. “It«s hard to imagine how people living in the directly flooded entrance manage to get out, but all residents walk past this puddle just to get to the garbage container area and throw out the trash. And the building, mind you, survived the Battle of Stalingrad!”
The depth of the puddle remains unmeasured, as no one risks measuring it.
The building is part of a pre-war social settlement for workers of the Stalingrad Tractor Plant and survived the years of the Battle of Stalingrad. On the facade, a star with a hammer and sickle and the inscription ‘In the third year of the five-year plan. 1930. STZ’ have been preserved, as well as numerous bullet and shell holes left as a memory of the battle. In 2016, most of the historical facade was plastered over and painted by a contracting organization, with only the section with symbols left untouched.
It is noted that residents already complained about yard flooding in 2023. Currently, the cause of the flooding and possible solutions to the problem are being investigated.
