Ulaanbaatar’s Geodesy and Water Construction Department reported clearing a major blockage in the city’s third rainwater drainage collector well on June 15th. The obstruction, discovered during routine maintenance, consisted of household waste and large fabrics, impeding water flow. The affected collector serves the Bayanzurkh district, including areas near the Railway Station and Bars-1 Market. This drainage system is crucial for preventing rainwater accumulation in the area. Authorities are urging residents and businesses to refrain from disposing of household waste into drainage wells and pipelines. Continued illegal dumping risks future blockages and potential flooding during heavy rainfall. The department emphasizes the importance of maintaining the system’s functionality for effective stormwater management.
