Due to the weak inflow of water from Pek and minimal accumulation at the "Pustinjac" water catchment, Majdanpek and the village of Debeli Lug are today without water, transfers RTV Bor.
In the Public Enterprise "Vodovod" they say that it is interruption in water supply was the only way to refill the reservoirs, so the expectations are that from tomorrow the situation will be at least "a little more favorable", which would allow the periodic release of drinking water.
"Also, we are making efforts to provide water for the hospital and kindergarten, and one of the measures we took was to cut off the largest consumer, the copper mine," says Slobodan Krajić, acting director of Majdanpeč's "Vodovod".
In order to increase the water level in Pek, and thus the accumulation on "Pustinjac", an appeal was sent to the inhabitants of the village of Gornje Reka, not to use the water from Pek for watering their gardens. In the meantime, the citizens of Majdanpeč will be supplied with drinking water from cisterns, and the schedule of on-calls on the streets can be seen on the official Facebook page of this company.
Water restrictions during the summer
The excessive consumption of water during these hot days is causing problems in outdated village waterworks, and due to the drought in many places restrictions have been introduced, wrote rRTS ships.
During July, residents of Brusnica near Gornji Milanovac, Vrnjačka Banja, Topola, Niš and Užice had problems with water restrictions.
"In 10 days, we only had water twice for several hours. We have bottles and balloons, we heat water for bathing, but the problem is generally the bathroom, washing machine and so on," said Dragan Vujičić from the village of Brusnica near Gornji Milanovac.
In six villages around the municipality of Topola there was also water restriction this summer, and in Topola itself there was no water from 10 o'clock in the evening to six in the morning, wrote N1.
It is similar in Valjevo, where there is no water even in the village where there is a water source for the whole town.
There are also problems with water restrictions during the summer in other cities and villages in Serbia.
