The Zhovtneve Reservoir is a reservoir in Mykolaiv that has not worked since 2006. After Russian shelling left the city without a centralised drinking water supply in April 2022, the authorities began talking about restoring it as a water reserve.
In December 2023 a full two-year reconstruction was estimated at ₴4.3 billion, and Kim called a water reserve for Mykolaiv a matter of safety. In January 2024 Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych said a water source had to be found first. In January 2025 it became known that restoration would start only after a new water pipeline and treatment plant are built.
