Vodoopskrba otoka Hvara

Vodoopskrba otoka Hvara

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.

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.

  • UK opening new oil and gas fields would imperil global climate goals, experts say

    Senior climate figures warn North Sea drilling would encourage fossil fuel exploitation by developing countries

    Opening new oil and gas fields in the North Sea would “send a shock wave around the world”, imperilling international climate targets, undermining the UK’s climate leadership and encouraging developing countries to exploit their own fossil fuel reserves, experts have warned.

    The UK government is under stiff pressure from the oil industry, the Conservatives, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party, some trade unions and parts of the Treasury to give the green light to new oil and gas fields, despite clear evidence that doing so would not cut prices and would have almost no effect on imports.

  • ‘Should it all just be renationalised?’ – your water crisis questions answered

    Sandra Laville has been reporting on England’s sewage crisis for years. She answered your questions on the water privatisation scandal.

    Guardian environment correspondent Sandra Laville’s reporting on the sewage crisis in English water has helped to expose a scandal of privatisation that has created a swell of fury across the political divide.

    Sandra has now finished answering your questions. Read the Q&A below.

    The government has put the cost of renationalising water at £100bn. But this is a disputed figure. Academics working with the People’s Commission on the Water Sector say this figure is ‘serious scaremongering created on biased evidence’ which was paid for by water companies. It is based on the Regulatory Capital Value of companies as determined by Ofwat, not the” true and fair value in law”, which reflects losses from market failures, like the cost of pollution or the monopoly profits taken by shareholders and banks.

    The route to renationalisation could come via the system set up legally when the companies were privatised. Under the law companies can be put into special administration if they are unable to pay debts, if they breach licence obligations, such as on sewage pollution, or failing to supply water, and if it is considered in the public interest to do so. Special administration is a form of temporary renationalisation.

    This is the million dollar question! While tackling separation across the whole network at once is considered too disruptive and costly, particularly in urban environments, the chartered institute of water and environmental management says moving towards separated systems is their key focus to address urban pollution and storm water sewage releases. New developments, for example, are now mandated to have separate pipes for foul wastewater and surface water run off.

    They also want to see the increased use of sustainable drainage systems like water butts, and storage basins for existing properties, to reduce the amount of runoff into the system. Keeping gardens rather than paving them over, and creating so called sponge cities is also key to tackling pollution.

    The UK was described as the dirty man of Europe back in the 70s and 80s, due to levels of pollution. For example in coastal towns there were no water treatment plants to treat sewage, raw sewage was just pumped and dumped into the sea. It was only when the EU directives came in that the clean up began. Chief amongst these was the Urban Wastewater directive, the Water Framework directive, and the Bathing Water directive.

    Since leaving the EU there have been fears that these pieces of legislation could be watered down. James Bevan, as CEO of the Environment Agency, talked about changing the Water Framework Directive, essentially to make it easier for rivers to pass tests for chemical and biological health. Currently no river is rated as in good overall health under the WFD where rivers have to pass both chemical and biological health tests.

  • Say no to pesticides, mix up your lawn – and six more ways to help bees to thrive

    Like so many flying insects, these essential pollinators are suffering because of habitat loss and the overuse of chemicals. Here’s how to give them a healthier, happier home

    We know about honeybees and bumblebees, but most of the UK’s bees are neither: they’re solitary bees, loners who come in a dizzying range of sizes, colours and varieties – more than 240 species. Have you heard, for instance, of the hairy-footed flower bee? “They’re one of the first bees to emerge each year,” says Laura Larkin, the chief conservation officer at Buglife. “The males have got fantastic little fluffy bits on their feet.”

    How about leaf-cutter bees, which chomp “a perfectly circular hole” out of leaves to build their nests? Or bright-orange tawny mining bees, wool-carder bees, ivy bees? “There are so many of them and I’m still learning,” says Kate Bradbury, a wildlife gardener, writer, bee lover and the author of One Garden Against the World. “They’re just great – there’s a solitary bee for every occasion.”

  • ‘The water is no longer our friend’: how dredging is pushing Lagos Lagoon towards ecosystem collapse – photo essay

    Taking sand from the Nigerian city’s lagoon to supply a building boom harms more than fish – it affects the entire food chain, erodes coastlines and is depriving fishing communities of their livelihoods

    Before dawn, when the noise of Lagos’s danfobusesfills the air and generators rumble to life, the city’s lagoon is already stirring. Not from fish splashing or canoes gliding, but from the long suction pipes of the dredging machines, pulling up the lagoon bed and spitting out wet sand that will be used in the construction of high-rise blocks, housing estates and flyovers.

    Sand dredging is regulated by the Lagos state government and the waterways authority but in a city of more than 20 million people, where sharp sand has never been in higher demand, not all dredging is being done by the book.

    Dredging leaves its mark on the landscape along the shores of the Lagos Lagoon in Epe

  • Oil slick from bombed Iranian ship threatens protected wetland

    Shahid Bagheri leaking fuel towards Hara mangrove forest, home to migrating birds and endangered turtles

    An oil slick from a stricken Iranian ship threatens to contaminate one of the Middle East’s most important wetlands, satellite image analysis suggests, making it one of a number of spills posing a risk to the livelihoods of coastal communities in the Gulf.

    The Shahid Bagheri, a drone carrier, began leaking heavy fuel oil in Iranian territorial waters near the strait of Hormuz after it was hit by a US warplane in the first few days of the US-Israel attack on Iran.

  • Birdwatch: Climbing to 4,400 metres to spot a rare rufous-bellied seedsnipe

    Our writer travels to the eastern Andes in search of one of Ecuador’s most elusive birds

    I’m out of breath – and not just because I’m desperate to see one of Ecuador’s most elusive birds, the rufous-bellied seedsnipe. To have any chance of success, I’ve come to Cayambe Coca national park in the eastern Andes. At 4,400 metres (14,400 feet), this is the highest altitude I have ever experienced.

    Fortunately the skies are clear, the sun is shining, and my guide, Juan Carlos, is optimistic. I don’t tell him I have a track record of missing nailed-on certainties.

  • Country diary: Watching the cows, chewing on memories of protest and parenting | Nicola Chester

    Woolton Hill, Hampshire: I visit an old friend in an old haunt, where a small herd of Shetlands has been set to work

    Thirty years on from the impassioned action of the road protests, the Newbury bypass soars above us on the old railway embankment. I can’t entirely accept it even now, having been part of the campaign. Today, walking in The Chase, the nature reserve that lies adjacent, the roar of traffic slips into a background hum, aided by other memories I’ve built up here.

    Many of those have been with my dearest friend, Sarah. She volunteers as a “cow watcher” for the National Trust, and I’ve come with her as she checks their whereabouts and wellbeing. They are conservation grazers; keeping coarser scrub in check, spreading seed and poaching areas, and encouraging greater biodiversity and plantlife.

  • Cars make way for bikes as Sydney commuters saddle up to circumvent ‘crazy’ fuel costs

    The shock of the oil crisis is playing out on Australian streets, where bike sales are up and cycle lanes are busier

    Before the 1970s global oil crisis, city planners in Copenhagen were considering removing bike lanes. Bicycles were considered outdated now car was king, and just 10% of locals were cycling regularly.

    But as economic shock waves reverberated around the world, Denmark, which almost entirely relied on imported oil, took a dramatic U-turn, with citizens staging mass protests in the middle of highways demanding better cycling infrastructure.

  • ‘All we can do now is pray they continue’: Maasai welcome the first rains but know that drought is far from over

    Harsh weather is nothing new in Kenya but the country’s climate is showing clear signs of getting hotter and drier

    The day is hot and dry but the soil underfoot is soft. “After four months of drought, we received the first rains yesterday,” says Maasai elder Abraham Kampalei. “All we can do now is pray that they continue.”

    Kampalei has lived for more than 50 of his 70 years with his family and animals in Oldonyonyokie, a hamlet in southern Kenya’s Kajiado county. He has witnessed the slow decline of the pastures. “I came here because of the abundance of grass for my livestock to graze. Today, there is almost nothing left of it,” he says.

  • ‘I escaped death a lot of times’: one man’s lifelong work protecting gorillas and communities in Congo

    As a child, Dominique Bikaba, was displaced by a new national park in the DRC. Now he is helping to secure land for wildlife and Indigenous groups against the backdrop of ongoing fighting

    Mist hangs low over the forested slopes of Kahuzi-Biega national park, where the canopy still shelters one of the last strongholds of the eastern lowland, or Grauer’s, gorilla. It is a landscape of immense biological wealth and equally immense political fragility. For 54-year-old Dominique Bikaba, it was once home.

    His family was among those displaced when their ancestral land was incorporated into the park in the 1970s. The protected area, in the lowlands of South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), harbours elephants and a remarkable range of wildlife, but it is best known as the principal home of the Grauer’s gorilla, the largest subspecies of primates, known to grow up to 250kg (39st) in weight. It is one of five great ape species found in the DRC’s vast forests, including mountain gorillas, which are also found in other parts of the Great Lakes region, such as Rwanda and Uganda.
