A review pass over Dilijan's tools turned up four things that were wrong or out of date. The road-weather page still pointed at 911 for emergencies on the M4. Since 15 February 2026, 112 is Armenia's single number for police and rescue; 911 redirects for now but is being phased out. The contacts page and the newcomer FAQ already said 112, so the road page was contradicting them. The rent calculator asked for a monthly income into a box that expects a yearly one. Anyone who followed the instruction would have seen a rent figure twelve times too small. The wording now says yearly, and the starting figure is shown as what it is: twelve months at Armenia's 2025 average wage. Both the contacts page and the FAQ said ENA publishes its outage lists in Armenian only. It does not — the same street-by-street list is on ena.am in English and Russian as well, with a separate tab for unplanned breakdowns. The links now go to a page you can read, though the warning that it sometimes will not load at all stays, because that part is still true. And the town page now pins the power board alongside water, the road weather and getting here.

When the power goes off, the first question is whether it is just your building or the whole street — and nothing published answers it. ENA lists planned work a day or two ahead, street by street, but a breakdown is on no schedule at all, and the page is one of the ones that some days will not load. So there is now a neighbour board. Tap the part of town you are in to say the power is out where you are; reports fade after about eight hours, so it shows what is happening now. Reading it needs nothing, reporting needs a free account. ENA's fault line (180, or 080 000 180) is on the page too, because reporting here does not send anyone a crew. The areas run west to east along the valley — Aygestan and Saralanj, Kalinin and Artsakh, Gorky Street and the Tbilisyan highway, the centre, Sayat-Nova, Usanogakan and Shahumyan. They are deliberately not the clusters the water board uses: those follow Veolia's notices, which sometimes group streets four kilometres apart. One thing worth knowing, and the page says it: a power cut here can take the water with it, because the pumps run on the same grid. That is what happened in April 2026.

Two new tools. A rent-affordability calculator turns a household's income into what it covers against Dilijan's typical furnished-flat rents, the question the research kept surfacing from the town's rolling relocant population. And a Community Picks board opens four resident-answered questions — where to eat without the summer wait at Kchuch, where to stay active, who to actually call for a trade, and one tip for newcomers — because you can't simply search for businesses here the way you can in a bigger city.

The town page now has a hand-drawn banner: the tufa-stone houses with their carved wooden balconies stepping up the forested valley slope, with the river and its footbridge on the valley floor below.

The forest-valley resort in Tavush now has six tools. New this round: a road-weather board for the one road to Yerevan — the rain and fog along the M4 climb over the Dilijan tunnel and the Semyonovka pass, read live at five points, with the official channels that actually announce closures. It joins the water-status board, the getting-here guide, the newcomer FAQ, who to call, and the walks-and-trails guide.
