The city of Vlora has not been supplied with water for 4 days due to a defect that occurred in the main line.
This issue has prompted protests from citizens, while the Mayor of Vlora, Brunilda Mersini, said that the problem is now on the way to being resolved.
Mersini stated that until the arrival of the necessary part for the final recovery of the damage, a provisional solution has been found, while over 15 water tankers operate in the city, where priority for supply has been given to institutions.
She said that the protest is led by Democratic members of the City Council and that this is not the time to oppose a disaster.
" I think it is not the time to share responsibilities. The water supply is not under the municipality's control, but it is the time to manage this disaster. The good news is that today the test has resulted positive in the last test and a part of the city, namely the Lungomare with a minimum pressure to not increase the risk level until we make the final solution. The pumps in this gradual test will begin to supply specific parts of the city. But I emphasize that over 15 water tanks have been operating in the city for 3 days, but we have given priority to the institutions. The protest is organized by the opposition and by the opposition members of the Municipal Council. It is not the time to oppose a natural disaster. This is an analysis that belongs to the water supply company. The good news is that the part has been found and is arriving at Rinas airport ", said Brunilda Mersini .
