Vodoopskrba otoka Hvara

Objavljeno u Zdravlje

Iz povijesti: Izgradnju prvog javnog sustava opskrbe pitkom vodom iz izvorišta "Vir", prije 80 godina, vodio je tadašnji načelnik Općine Jelsa, gosp. Jure Duboković-Nadalini. Ovaj događaj obilježen je podizanjem česme na "pjaci" u Jelsi 1934. godine.

Vodoopskrba otoka Hvara

PROFIL DRUŠTVA

20. XII 1960. godine Općina Hvar osniva poduzeće u izgradnji za eksploatacijuv odovoda na području Općine Hvar, koje se nije konstituiralo te je Okružni privredni sud donio rješenje o brisanju iz registra 22. II 1962. godine.

22. XII 1964. godine Općina Hvar ponovno osniva poduzeće „Hvarski vodovod“ sa sjedištem u Jelsi, a koje je konstituirano 5. VI 1965. godine te i danas nosi isti naziv.

Od 1961. do 1965. je izgrađena kaptaža i crpilište “Libora”, hidrotehnički tunel “Pitve-Zavala”, cjevovodi do Hvara, Starog Grada, Vrboske i okolnih sela Pitve, Vrisnik, Svirče, Vrbanj.

Vodoopskrbna mreža se neprestano širila, sedamdesetih godina se turizam na cijelom otoku ubrzano razvijao to je započeta druga velika prehretnica u razvoju vodoopskrbe, koja je 1986. godine rezultirala završetkom izgradnje niza objekata regionalnog vodovoda Omiš-Brač-Hvar-Vis od filterpolja "Zagrad" u Omišu preko polaganja podmorskih cjevovoda (Omiš-Brač, Brač-Hvar, Duba-Sućuraj), izgradnjom preko 35 km kopnenih cjevovoda, brojnih crpnih stanica i vodosprema, probojem novog hidrotehničkog a danas i cestovnog tunela "Selca-Dubovica" itd.

Prekretnica u nadzoru i upravljanju vodoopskrbnim sustavom započela je 1996. godine ugradnjom sustava daljinskog nadzora i upravljanja vodoopskrbnim objektima te danas iz jednog centra imamo kontrolu i upravljanje svim značajnim vodoopskrbnim objektima na Hvaru.

2001. godine puštena je u rad nova crpna stanica “Oskorušica” koja je omogućila dopremu dodatnih količina vode podmorskim cjevovodom i za nekoliko godina odgodila postavljanje drugog podmorskog cjevovoda Brač-Hvar.

2002. godine potpuno je obnovljena crpna stanica "Libora", a time je omogućeno mješanje vode iz Cetine sa vodom iz crpilišta te od tada svi potrošači na otoku Hvaru imaju daleko kvalitetniju vodu identičnih karakteristika. Svi postojeći vodopskrbni objekti su danas obnovljeni i primjereno se održavaju.

Društvo danas

Hvarski vodovod d.o.o. Jelsa je trgovačka društvo koje vrši opskrbu pitkom vodom na području cijelog otoka Hvara te odvodnju za područje općina Jelsa i Sućuraj te grada Staroga Grada.

Društvo svoju osnovnu djelatnost danas obavlja sa 40-tak zaposlenika koji održavaju cjelokupni sustav od oko 370 km cjevovoda različitih profila te preko 8.500 vodovodnih priključaka. 

Dugoročni planski ciljevi Društva su:

-               osiguranje potpune vodoopskrbljenosti svih naselja na području otoka Hvara,

-               osiguranje dovoljnih količina vode za potrebe domicilnog stanovništva i neometan gospodarski razvoj,

-               smanjenje gubitaka i troškova distribucije kroz osiguranje potpune automatizacije u nadzoru i upravljanju svim vodnim objektima.

Poslovna politika Društva je usmjerena na pravovremenu pripremu projektne dokumentacije kako bi se pripremno dočekalo eventualne mogućnosti investiranja. Očekivani izvori financiranja za izgradnju vodnih objekata, kako vodoopskrbe tako i odvodnje, su vlastita sredstva iz naknade za razvoj te sredstva pristupnih fondova EU.

Otok Hvar se vodoopskrbljuje iz :

-       vlastitih izvorišta “Libora” u Jelsi (oko 40 l/sek), te “Vir” (6 l/sek) i “Garmica” (14 i/sek) koji se povremeno koriste tijekom ljeta,

-       regionalnog sustava Omiš-Brač-Hvar-Vis (stavljeno u funkciju 1986.godine) podmorskim cjevovodima preko otoka Brača iz uređaja za pročišćavanje Zagrad na Cetini (oko 50 l/sek gravitacijom te dodatnih 36 l/sek procrpljavanjem na cs Oskorušica) te

-       sustava Vodovoda Makarska (do 5 l/sek) podmorskim cjevovodom Duba-Sućuraj.

Dakle, ukupno raspoložive količine vode na otoku Hvaru su trenutno oko 151 l/sek.

Upravo položenim drugim podmorskim cjevovodom Brač-Hvar moći će se na otok Hvar dopremiti u prvoj fazi dodatnih 20-tak l/sek dok će se nakon izgradnje procrpne stanice “Dol” na Braču moći dopremiti ukupna količina od 143 l/sek koliko Hvar raspolaže na uređaju Zagrad. Novi podmorski cjevovod (promjera 360 mm) osim mogućnosti dopreme velike količine vode (preko 200 l/sek) daje nam i daleko veću sigurnost vodoopskrbe otoka Hvara (zbog moguće havarije u turističkoj sezoni).

Na otoku Hvaru je vodoopskrbljeno oko 95 % stanovništva, dok još nije vodoopskrbljen istočni dio otoka Hvara (Poljica, Zastražišće, Gdinj i Bogomolje sa pripadajućim uvalama) te Gromin dolac i Malo Grablje. Za realizaciju vodoopskrbe navedenih naselja potrebna su ogromna sredstva (oko 70.000.000,00 kuna) a radi se o udaljenim naseljima sa relativno malim brojem stalnih stanovnika te je takav projekt nemoguće realizirati bez potpore državnih institucija i EU fondova. Inače, sva ova naselja se već 10-tak godina opskrbljuju pitkom vodom putem autocisterni na način da Ministarstvo regionalnog razvoja podmiruje troškove prijevoza.

Odvodnja fekalnih voda riješena je u naselju Sućuraj te u Gradu Hvaru, dok se projekt odvodnje središnjeg dijela otoka Hvara (Jelsa-Vrboska-Stari Grad) realizira već 10-tak godina. Izgrađen je dobar dio glavnih kolektora i crpnih stanica a očekujemo dovršetak izgradnje svih objekata uključivo sekundarne mjesne mreže, uređaje za pročišćavanje i podmorske ispuste do 2020. godine. Financiranje izgradnje će se vršiti iz sredstava naknade za razvoj te pristupnih fondova EU.

  • ‘Fossil fuel giants finally in the crosshairs’: Cop30 avoids total failure with last-ditch deal

    It took some oblique wording, but Saudi Arabia made a last-minute decision to sign deal that marks departure for Cop

    Dawn was breaking over the Amazonian city of Belém on Saturday morning, but in the windowless conference room it could have been day or night. They had been stuck there for more than 12 hours, dozens of ministers representing 17 groups of countries, from the poorest on the planet to the richest, urged by the Brazilian hosts to accept a settlement cooked up the day before.

    Tempers were short, the air thick as the sweaty and exhausted delegates faced up to reality: there would not be a deal here in Brazil. The 30th UN climate conferencewould end in abject failure.

  • ‘A precarious position’: almost 3,000 species at risk of disappearing from Wales, report finds

    Environmental body says modest investment and changes can help preserve long list of animals, fungi and lichen

    Almost 3,000 species ranging from glorious birds to tiny lichen are in peril in Wales because they are clinging on in a handful of locations or even fewer, a groundbreaking report has revealed.

    The report from Natural Resources Wales (NRW) highlights that, since the millennium, 11 species have already been lost to Cymru, including the turtle dove and belted beauty moth. It warns that 2,955 other terrestrial or freshwater species are at serious risk because they are confined to five locations or fewer.

  • One in seven English bathing spots rated as polluted in latest testing

    Scarborough and Bognor Regis among places where water is so polluted it is not recommended for swimming

    One in seven (13%) of England’s bathing waters are rated as polluted, and one in 14 so polluted they are not recommended for swimming.

    Famous beaches including Bognor Regis, Scarborough’s South Bay and Littlehaven Beach in South Shields were all rated “poor” in the latest classifications from the Environment Agency, which means they are not recommended for swimming.

  • ‘It fully changed my life!’ How young rewilders transformed a farm – and began a movement

    At Maple Farm, nature is returning in droves: nightingales, grass snakes, slowworms, bats and insects. All due to the vision of a group determined to accelerate its recovery

    The manically melodic song of the nightingale is a rare sound in Britain these days, but not at Maple Farm. Four years ago, a single bird could be heard at this secluded spot in rural Surrey; this summer, they were everywhere. “We were hearing them calling all night, from five different territories,” says Meg Cookson, lead ecologist for the Youngwilders, pointing to the woodland around us. A group of Youngwilders were camping out at the site, but the birds were so loud, “we couldn’t sleep all night,” says Layla Mapemba, the group’s engagement lead. “We were all knackered the next day, but it was so cool.” An expert from the Surrey Wildlife Trust came to help them net and ring one of the nightingales the next morning, Cookson recalls: “He’d never held a nightingale in his hands before. He was crying.”

    Rewilding is by definition a slow business, but here at Maple Farm, after just four years, the results are already visible, and audible. The farm used to be a retirement home for horses. Now it’s a showpiece for the Youngwilders’ mission: to accelerate nature recovery, in one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world, and to connect young people (18-30-year-olds) with a natural world they are often excluded from, and a climate crisis they are often powerless to prevent. Global heating continues, deforestation destroys natural habitats, and another Cop summit draws to a disappointing conclusion in Brazil – so who could blame young people for wanting to take matters into their own hands?

  • UK can create 5,400 jobs if it stops plastic waste exports, report finds

    Campaigners say closure of loophole making it cheaper to export rather than recycle will boost circular economy

    The UK could end its reliance on exporting plastic waste by 2030 to support the creation of 5,400 new jobs and take responsibility for the environmental impact of its waste, according to research.

    The report said up to 15 new recycling facilities could be built by the end of the decade, attracting more than £800m of private investment. The increase in capacity would help generate almost £900m of economic value every year, providing at least £100m in new tax revenues annually.

  • ‘The narwhals stop calling’: how the noise from ships is silencing wildlife in the Arctic

    Evidence that the whales and other marine animals are particularly vulnerable to sound is driving calls for quieter vessels

    The delicate clicks and whistles of narwhals carry through Tasiujaq, locally known as Eclipse Sound, at the eastern Arctic entrance of the Northwest Passage. A hydrophone in this shipping corridor off Baffin Island, Nunavut, captures their calls as the tusked whales navigate their autumn migration route to northern Baffin Bay.

    But as the Nordic Odyssey, a 225-metre ice-class bulk carrier servicing the nearby iron ore mine, approaches, its low engine rumble gives way to a wall of sound created by millions of collapsing bubbles from its propeller. The narwhals’ acoustic signals, evolved for one of Earth’s quietest environments, fall silent.

  • ‘Taking back the desert’: can Australia’s small marsupials learn how to live alongside their predator, the feral cat?

    Scientists are excited by progress so far in a bold project to see if native species can train themselves to survive alongside cats

    In the middle of the Australian outback’s arid deserts, many of the country’s distinctive small marsupials – the bilbies, bandicoots and quolls – have been missing for a century or more, wiped out by land clearing and the hunting prowess of feral cats. Felis catus – introduced by European invaders and settlers – was too fast and too agile for the native mammals that had not evolved with this voracious and adaptable new predator.

    While efforts to rid the landscape of cats have so far failed, a group of scientists have entered into a bold project to see if small marsupials can train themselves to survive alongside the cats that drove their species almost to extinction.

  • ‘It’s hell for us here’: Mumbai families suffer as datacentres keep the city hooked on coal

    As Mumbai sees increased energy demand from new datacenters, particularly from Amazon, the filthiest neighbourhood in one of India’s largest cities must keep its major coal plants

    Each day, Kiran Kasbe drives a rickshaw taxi through his home neighbourhood of Mahul on Mumbai’s eastern seafront, down streets lined with stalls selling tomatoes, bottle gourds and aubergines–and, frequently, through thick smog.

    Earlier this year, doctors found three tumours in his 54-year-old mother’s brain. It’s not clear exactly what caused her cancer. But people who live near coal plants are much more likely to develop the illness, studies show, and the residents of Mahul live a few hundred metres down the road from one.

  • Zombie fires: how Arctic wildfires that come back to life are ravaging forests

    Blazes that smoulder in the permafrost, only to reignite, are extending fire season though winter, leaving vegetation struggling to recover

    In May 2023, a lightning strike hit the forest in Donnie Creek, British Columbia, and the trees started to burn. It was early in the year for a wildfire, but a dry autumn and warm spring had turned the forest into a tinderbox, and the flames spread rapidly. By mid-June, the fire had become one of largest in the province’s history, burning through an area of boreal forest nearly twice the size of central London. That year, more of Canada burned than ever before.

    The return of cold and snow at the close of the year typically signal the end of the wildfire season. But this time, the fire did not stop. Instead, it smouldered in the soil underground, insulated from the freezing conditions by the snowpack. The next spring, it reemerged as a “zombie fire” that continued to burn until August 2024. By then, more than 600,000 hectares (1.5m acres) had been destroyed.
