Abstract
At the end of the XIX century, Omsk doctors began a long dialogue with the authorities about the need to build a water pipeline in the city. They acted as the main experts on water quality issues, the causes of its pollution and the experience of other cities in the construction of water supply and sewerage. But the discussion of the real project began in 1902 with the recommendation of the Commission on Strengthening Fire-fighting equipment to build a fire water supply system. Later, cholera again became an important argument for the Omsk City Duma. The discussion of the water pipeline project and the selection of contractors stretched for almost a decade, and the construction itself took longer than originally planned. Keywords: Omsk, water supply, infrastructure, cholera
