On September 5, a meeting was held with the villagers to mark the completion of the project to improve the supply of clean water in the village of Marzandiye, Shamakhi region.
The project was implemented under the initiative of the EcoHub ecological platform within the framework of the “Sustainable Water Initiatives” Program supported by the Coca-Cola Foundation, in partnership with the Azerbaijan State Water Resources Agency (ADSEA) and the Shamakhi Region Executive Power.
As part of the project, a 7 km long main water pipeline of various diameters was laid from the Pirsaat water source to the village. Pump units were installed in the water source area and provided with electricity, and a 60 cubic meter water tank was built in the village. Then, network lines were laid within the village, ensuring metered and continuous water supply to every house.
As a result, 1,350 residents of Marzandiye village were provided with clean water. The annual volume of water pumped into the village is estimated at approximately 146 million liters.
The event was attended by Tukezban Agababayeva, Chairwoman of EcoHub Public Union, Rena Mammadova, General Director of Coca-Cola Azerbaijan, Khayyam Mammadov, First Deputy Chairman of ADSEA, Zakir Guliyev, Head of ADSEA Regional Water Reclamation Service, and Tahir Mammadov, Head of Shamakhi Regional Administrative District. Representatives of the public and private sectors congratulated the villagers on the completion of the project.
Speaking at the event, Tukezban Agababayeva, Director of the EcoHub ecological platform, said: “This project we implemented in the village of Marzandiye has shown that when additional support for large-scale work carried out by state institutions and social responsibility initiatives of the private sector come together, great results can be achieved. As EcoHub, we always believe in the power of cross-sectoral cooperation, and this project is a clear example of that cooperation. It is gratifying that a great change has occurred in the daily lives of 1,350 residents and sustainable, high-quality drinking water has been delivered to every home. We are proud to share this success with our partners.”

First Deputy Chairman of ADSEA Khayyam Mammadov emphasized that work will continue to be done to ensure the sustainability of the project: “A great deal of work has been done to provide water to the village of Marzandiya. The implementation of the project took several months, and finally, we have achieved a successful result. I believe that together with our partners, there will be many more such successful projects.”
Head of Shamakhi Regional Administrative District Tahir Mammadov said: “With the attention of our state and the support of the private sector, the daily life of residents is improving even more. The village’s water problem has already been solved. Now every house has clean water. I am grateful to all our partners who contributed to the successful completion of this work.”
Zakir Guliyev, Head of the ADSEA Regional Water Reclamation Service, noted that this project has positively changed the lives of residents by meeting the greatest need of the village.
