Divers will check Moscow reservoirs before the swimming season. Pyotr Biryukov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Communal Services and Improvement, told reporters about this.
“Divers of the Moscow City Search and Rescue Service at water bodies began to examine the bottom of reservoirs located in recreation areas with the possibility of swimming. The main task is to detect and remove accumulated debris and traumatic objects that could get into the water during the autumn-winter period. About 40 rescuers are involved in one stage of the inspection,” said Pyotr Biryukov.
According to the deputy mayor, the survey of reservoirs is carried out in several stages.
“Currently, work is underway to remove household and natural debris, inspect the coastlines, and in May we will re-clean the reservoirs, including removing small debris. Another diving survey is planned in July, at the height of the swimming season,” said Pyotr Biryukov.
