Tirana, 800 families without water

Although they say that they pay water bills regularly, it results that they have been supplied with well water for many years, which now has dried up.

The residents say that the water that came from the well was colored and inconsumable, and that they had regular contracts with the Aqueduct.

The firm that has constructed the apartment building explains that some of them get water supply from the well built by the Kashar commune, and the others from the Tirana Aqueduct.

The residents who have bought the apartments for living in, now don’t know who to address to for their problem. The Aqueduct says that since they have been using well water, it is not their responsibility, and the construction firms tells them to ask water from the ones they have been paying it to. The contracts that the residents sign with the construction companies when they buy the apartment homes seems useless, although there is written “running water 24/7” and they don’t even have an aqueduct network.

One month ago, around 100 families in Sauk complained of having lived for several days without running water. They declared of having regular contracts with the Aqueduct and the bills result as regularly paid, but their taps have no water.

The residents say that during the electoral campaign they were promised to receive running water 247, but it is the contrary now that they have to get water from their neighbors’ wells.

Sources from the Aqueduct explain that their technicians are repairing the water distribution network for the entire Sauk area.

Another concern this summer has been seen in the residential areas around “Student Campus”, whose water was cut after the Aqueduct decided to take a collective punishment for those individuals who had not paid water bills.
