One of the urgent issues in 2025 for the village of Kochetok was the interruption of water supply to the «Hora» microdistrict (about 2,000 inhabitants), the cause of which was the condition of the water main and problems in the energy system due to shelling by the aggressor country. The Kochetok VKVCG, the «Chuguyivvoda» municipal enterprise, the «Donets» military district, the Infrastructure Restoration and Development Service in the Kharkiv region, and the Chuguyiv city military administration were involved in solving the problem, as a result of their fruitful cooperation, a new 300-meter-long water main was laid and subscribers were reconnected.
The main problems in the village of Kochetok remain the condition of water supply, heat supply, sewage, street lighting and the condition of intra-district roads. For 2026, proposals have been planned and submitted to the community budget for backfilling and grading intra-district dirt roads of the village, repair and expansion of the street lighting system. With the support of the Chuguiv city military administration, negotiations are underway on cooperation with the Embassy of Switzerland within the framework of Swiss humanitarian aid on the reconstruction of the complex of treatment facilities in the village of Kochetok.
