The city of Tallinn and AS Tallinna Vesi are signing a new administrative contract that regulates matters related to public water supply and sewage network and the provision of rainwater drainage services.

As the cold weather season is arriving, all public water taps will be closed. However, Tallinn plans to install new public water taps next season. Right now, residents can suggest locations for the new water taps.

Tallinn creates emergency centres in every district, or institutions that are independent from outside service providers. The purpose of these centres is to provide help, advice and information during large-scale electricity or water outages, fire or other crises. While the emergency centres are mostly located in city district administration buildings that people are accustomed to visiting, the network is planned to be expanded.

Projects aiming to add more greenery to the city and facilities promoting active lifestyles emerged as the winners in Tallinn's 2024 participatory budget vote. One million euros have been set aside in the budget for the realization of these projects.

The Tallinn Urban Environment and Public Works Department will reconstruct utility networks on Lauteri Street, build new pedestrian and cycling paths, and plant greenery. The changes will improve traffic flow, access to local businesses, and the overall urban environment.

From December 27-29, Pae Street will see essential water and sewer pipeline construction near the property of Pae Street 2. During these dates, the affected street section will be closed to traffic. As a result, bus lines 7, 13, 50, and 58 will undergo temporary route adjustments. In addition, construction works will necessitate the closure of one lane on Peterburi maantee.

One of the priorities in Tallinn's 2024 budget is the development of a comfortable and safe urban space, which includes investments in transportation infrastructure and making streets more pedestrian-friendly. The city budget has allocated over 47.5 million euros for the reconstruction and major repairs of roads and streets. Key projects for the coming year include the reconstruction of Peterburi maantee and Lastekodu Street, the construction of pedestrian tunnels on Paldiski maantee, the reconstruction of the Kadaka viaduct, and the construction of the first phase of Pollinator Highway green corridor.

The Tallinn City Government has approved the initiative to draft the "Tallinn Environmental Noise Reduction Action Plan 2024–2028." This plan aligns with the "Tallinn 2035" development strategy and the city's mobility plan, aiming to manage environmental noise within the city, particularly noise resulting from transportation and industry.

The Tallinn urban area has dozens of public fountains, where everyone can get free clean drinking water, something especially important in hot weather.
