Novosibirsk officials argue, which is more important: informatization or drinking water

In December 2016, a meeting of the budget committee of the Novosibirsk region was held. The government and deputies within it discussed the regional budget for 2017, which is to be approved. For the meeting on the draft budget, the profile committee received a total of about 200 amendments. The most heated discussion at the meeting, according to regional media, flared up around one of them - proposals to cut the budget for informatization of the Novosibirsk region in favor of the regional program "Clean Water"^[2] and officials of^[3].

The initiator of this amendment was the deputy chairman of the social committee of the Novosibirsk region, Alexander Kozlov. He proposed to reduce funding for the program "Development of the infrastructure of the information society in the Novosibirsk region" by 1 billion rubles. By the same amount, he proposes to increase funding for the Clean Water program for 2017.

The Department of Informatization and Development of Telecommunications Technologies of the Novosibirsk Region estimated its budget required for 2017 at about 1.6 billion rubles. Among the projects that require funds are the elimination of digital inequality by providing the population with access to modern communication services, work within the framework of the creation of the 112 system, updating computer equipment for the work of authorities.

In turn, the Clean Water program aims to provide the population of the region with high-quality drinking water that meets safety requirements. To do this, it is necessary to build water treatment facilities - water treatment stations, modular water treatment plants, wastewater treatment stations, etc. According to officials, by 2020, 80% of the population of the Novosibirsk region should be provided with "correct" water. The program also provides for the development of water supply in the region as a whole: about 20% of the population of the Novosibirsk region is not provided with centralized water supply services.

When we talk about digital inequality, that's right, but nobody talks about drinking inequality. We in Novosibirsk consume good water, but in almost all settlements of the Novosibirsk region, water does not meet sanitary requirements, - said Alexander Kozlov at a meeting of the budget committee. - Villagers are deprived of clean water, forced to either buy it for money or consume what is available - dirty, unhealthy. This is most significant for them than the Internet or computers in the bureaucratic offices[4] is more[5]

According to Kozlov, it is necessary to more actively connect business and extrabudgetary sources of financing to the discussed informatization program, and send part of the funds from it to resolve the issue of providing villages not with the Internet, but with clean water. A number of deputies of the Novosibirsk region supported this idea.

According to Valentin Sichkarev, Deputy Chairman of the Budget Committee of the Legislative Assembly of the Novosibirsk Region, the informatization program is not very clear, so it must be proved and explained^[6]. Explanations are expected later, in December, from the head of the department of informatization and development of telecommunications technologies of the Novosibirsk region Anatoly Dyubanov.

Alexander Morozov, chairman of the budget committee of the Legislative Assembly of the Novosibirsk Region, proposed a more compromise option for financing Clean Water - to allocate 200 million rubles for it, but not from the informatization program. Following the meeting, the deputies invited everyone, and the regional authorities, including to think about where you can find free 200 million rubles. If the funds appear, then the need to cut the informatization program will disappear.

In 2016, the budget for informatization of the Novosibirsk region amounted to 1.686 billion rubles^[7]. In terms of budget, the region is in fifth place, following Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Moscow region and the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Ugra.
