The data on the high degree of pollution of the Uvod river by industrial wastes are given. The author comes to the conclusion that the degradation of the city’s water resources resulted from the urban textile enterprises operation that discharged wastewater directly into public water bodies along with the reluctance of the city authorities to solve the issue of wastewater purification. All these factors seriously threatened the residents’ life and health.
