Citizens accuse water pipeline of failing to finish Pristina streets

They blame workers and contractors who, according to them, are procrastinating.

In this neighborhood, drinking water pipes are being changed from the regional water supply “Pristina.

Until citizens are interested in performing these works as soon as possible because they started a month ago, the water supply confirms that they are scheduled to end on 15 July.

The inhabitants of this section complain that digging holes and canals on sidewalks is causing them trouble walking, and they have been living in the dust for a month.

One of the inhabitants is the Mzaphere Abazi, which suggests that such works are hindering him from moving freely.

This is getting in the way, it needs to be fixed, there are obstacles, there's dust to go around and fake”, she said.

Another citizen, Remzi Ejupi, said that much dust is being created during hot days. He is skeptical that the work will be completed within this month.

You're blocking, this is the water supply disaster, which isn't stopping, it's preventing dust, stones, squares, people haven't passed, it's disaster. It's been a month since, like, a month and more, there's a chance we have a chance of a couple of months to fix it, says Ejupi.

And citizen Shemsie Yupolly, who also owns a shop on this street, says that the three - worker company is trying to finish the work.

It's been stalling us for more than a month with three workers all over the company, which has been holding us back for months. Dusty, hard to walk this. I think a month, more than a month. How soon with three employees a company, tired company, disaster. I don't know what's done like this, see for yourself”, says Yupoli.

While citizens have filed complaints towards the water supply company, the latter suggest that their company is investing in improving its services to consumers.

Regional Aqua spokeswoman “Pristina” Arberie Zogiani said that by 15 July the entire project is expected to be completed.

This is about an investment in the continued investment and projects that our company is doing to improve our services to consumers. This is precisely about changing the old pipe of drinking water supply with the new pipe. By the 15th, in the framework of the dynamic plan, it means we have time and I believe that this project will be completed in the sense of what we will accomplish all new keys in this new” tube, Zogiani said.

According to her, delay in the work has been made by a number of aquifers who have been inside the consumer courtyards, who are tenants, and permission is required for tenants to execute the regional water pipeline plan “Pristina”.

“In all, the section of the sidewalks are almost finished, but there are also some minimal cases in which there are cases that in cases where the watermen are inside the consumer courts or in cases where we have not yet finalised the key is to the tenants who need permission to execute the new key. We hope that this project will soon be completed and everything will be returned to normal”, she said.
