The high temperatures that have been reigning for several days now in our country have caused the lack of drinking water to be noticed in Peja, Rahovec, Pristina, as well as in some villages.

Residents of these areas have announced that they have water shortages, however the officials of the Regional Water Companies have given their reasons.

A resident who complained and wished to remain anonymous to the public, said that apart from having no water from 6:00 am to 18:00 pm, the electricity is also being cut off during the day.

"There are problems with water in Peja and the villages. There is water only at night, and from 06:00 a.m. to 18:00 p.m. in the evening it is stopped. We have had this problem for several weeks." said one of the residents.

The water supply company "Hidrodrini" in Peja told KosovaPress that one of the reasons for the lack of drinking water is the hot weather.

However, in the Regional Water Company "Gjakova", from which the Municipality of Rahovec is also supplied, in a written answer, they said that the lower area of ​​Rahovec and some villages are misusing the water and as a result the pumps have no capacity to supply the higher parts.

The spokeswoman of the Regional Water Company "Prishtina", Arjeta Mjeku stated that they are aware of the lack of water supply in some high urban and rural areas, but this is not happening because of the company.

KRU "Prishtina", also gave some advice on what citizens should do to stop the misuse of water.

"Don't let water flow from the tap, don't use drinking water to wash cars, don't use drinking water for the many constructions in the city, don't clean the sidewalks with drinking water, don't forget to turn off your taps after brushing your teeth, do not water the flowers every day, do not allow unauthorized interventions in the water supply network and pay regularly for the water you consume".
