The temporary crisis commission on the problems of water supply in the municipality of Pleven will submit three proposals for consideration by the Municipal Council. This was announced to the media by the chairman of the commission, municipal councilor Emil Peev, after the end of the fourth meeting of the commission, which took place in the meeting hall of the Municipality of Pleven.
The proposals will be sent to all members of the commission and will be submitted as proposals for consideration at the session of the Municipal Council. They are by Eng. Stefan Lishkovski, who summarized the opinions of the Basin Directorate and Irrigation Systems; by the civil association “Anti-corruption“ on the spending of the funds and by arch. Krasimir Popov and the Regional College of the Chamber of Architects regarding the design. They relate to short-term, medium-term and long-term measures.
According to Peev, the work of the commission makes sense, because even if one of ten proposals is implemented and somehow alleviates the situation, it is good. It is good that there are also representatives of the citizens, because they are directly concerned with the solution to the issues raised.
He added that the commission has gathered specialists who present and comment on the problems. The information submitted by the individual institutions is discussed, debated and sometimes contested. In this way, the problems are sorted out. And new problems arise constantly and there is a need for answers to questions related to them from the institutions involved in the problem. New opportunities are being sought to resolve the crisis. Assistance is also provided by the regional administration. Peev hopes that even more complete and detailed information will be presented at the upcoming meeting of the Regional Crisis Headquarters on Friday.
At the meeting, information on the quantities of drinking water consumed by the company was presented by the director of “Toplofikatsiya“ Pleven Eng. Yordan Vassilev. For 2024, they amounted to 6751 cubic meters, which, divided by all 220 employees, makes 2.56 cubic meters per person. Eng. Vassilev stated that drinking water is not used for technological needs.
Representatives of “Irrigation Systems”, the Basin Directorate and Deputy Mayor Kaloyan Kadriyski also answered questions. He announced that the results of the samples taken from the drilling in the area of the Kozhuharska fountain will be ready within days. In addition to the two boreholes in the villages of Brestovets and Todorovo, a public procurement will be launched and exploratory boreholes will be drilled in other villages in this region.
The meeting was attended by the new regional governor of Pleven region, Eng. Martin Machev, who also said that he admires the work of the commission. A representative of the Water and Sewerage Service - Pleven, to whom he had prepared questions, was not present. The invited representatives of the Regional Health Inspectorate (RZI) and the Regional Inspectorate for Environment and Water (RIOSV) - Pleven did not come either.
The next meeting of the Temporary Crisis Commission on the problems of water supply in the municipality of Pleven will be held on October 1.
