Water levels up in Batlava and Badoc continue calls for safe drinking water

The water level on Batala's concussing lake is at its maximum level, as growth is available in Badoci Lake. However, the Regional Water Company “Pristina” continues the call for a lack of drinking water.

KRU spokeswoman “Prishtina”, Arjeta Doctor, told Online Economy that thanks to recent rainfall, the level of lakes has increased.

The doctor has asked consumers for access to drinking water and hygiene rather than for irrigation.

We have the water level at Batlava Lake at its maximum rate, so it's in the maximum quota of overcoming, it's moving. We also have easy lift to Badovci Lake. It's up 2m and a half, and now we have 4 and a half meters under the maximum quota of”, she said.

“Cytrics are the ones that are. The number of consumers is increasing every day. So as the number of consumers is growing, then it should also be the highest awareness of the most rational waste of drinking water, because if we become aware that we use water for drinking and hygiene, and not for other unreasonable destinations, we'll have enough water”, she said.

On the other hand, the challenge for this company is the small number of staff. It says that they do work outside their competencies.

Every company is understaffed, especially pre-retirement age. But the guys we're trying to do a lot of work at the same time. We don't do jobs at the company with just describing jobs, but we do other jobs, not just me, but also the staff just so the CRU Prishtina can do as well in front of the public and citizens as quality service”, she said.

The water treatment facility in Shkabaj is supplied with a smaller supply of water from Weiman Lake through the “channel Iber-Lepencit”

Regional waterwork company “Pristina” has announced during the week that water turbulence has appeared in the channel of “Iber Lepenci”, which has led to the disruption of the drinking water supply in Fushe-Kosovo, the “Calabria” neighbourhood in Pristina, Drinas and Obilic.

This is because with the channel of Iber Lepencits we don't manage, manage the public company Iber Lepenc. We have the water treatment plant on Shkabaj, we get the untreated water from that canal, we treat it for drinks and distribute it to consumers. We're witnessing a lot of flooding in our country and there's been a lot of high water turbulence in the Ibër channel that we don't manage and for us it's been impossible to take raw and treat for drinks. So when it's raining, we understand deeply the concern of the citizens that when it's raining, we don't have water. How we're doing with the water supply, we have the plants that work really well, but the citizens have to head to the public company, so they can get more information about why the channel in their management isn't working, or it's a blurt of water”.
