The ‘Parks’ Municipal Enterprise has resumed the automatic watering system in Vitovsky Square. Photo from the company’s Facebook pageThe automatic watering system has been restored in Vitovskyi Square in the Korabelnyi district of Mykolaiv. «Mykolaiv Parks» announced that it had completed the full scope of work and that the area is now receiving regular watering once again.
The municipal enterprise reported this on its Facebook page.
Work to restore the automatic watering system was completed on 24 June 2026. The very next day, staff discovered damage — unknown individuals had torn out and stolen three sprinkler heads.
In a video message, an employee of the company once again called on residents to look after public property and respect the work of municipal staff.
«Three sprinkler heads were stolen in a single night — why? We’re doing our best to develop the park for you, so that residents can come and enjoy its beauty — but no. There will always be people who steal. Lavender had also been planted in the square. And what happened? Four bushes have already been stolen. People of Mykolaiv, let’s appreciate what is being done for our city,» he said.
At the same time, the video footage shows plantings and individual flowerbeds, but the landscaping looks rather sparse — much of the area remains effectively bare ground with just a few scattered bushes and flowers.

Vitovskyi Square underwent a major refurbishment in the run-up to the 2020 local elections. At the time, it was hailed as the most technologically advanced: an automatic irrigation system, solar panels and a new children’s playground were installed, and the area underwent comprehensive landscaping. The damage to the automatic irrigation system came to light in October last year.
