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.

  • Downing Street forces Tony Blair to row back from net zero strategy criticism

    Labour politicians warn former PM had boosted Tory and Reform climate sceptics on the eve of local elections

    Tony Blair has been forced by Downing Street to row back from his criticism of the government’s net zero strategy after furious Labour politicians warned he had given a boost to Tory and Reform sceptics on the eve of the local elections.

    Climate experts also accused the former prime minister of granting political cover to fossil fuel interests and weakening momentum behind the UK’s legally binding target to reach net zero emissions by 2050.

  • Nature nurture: the Devon estate where rewilding and mental health go hand in hand

    A restoration project at Sharpham near Totnes aims to tackle the loss of the natural world while helping people build mental resilience

    Two landscapes separated by a wide sweep of river tell a story of change. On one side is traditional farmland, close-cropped grazing, uniform grasses, neatly tended hedges and a sparsity of trees, a farmscape ubiquitous across England. On the riverbank opposite, rougher, less uniform grasses grow unevenly between trees, thistle and brambles, in a chaos of natural disorder swaying in the breeze towards the reedbeds below.

    The land on the Sharpham estate side of the River Dart used to be a mirror of the traditional farmscape on the opposite bank. It hosted a non-organic dairy farm and a vineyard, within a tightly controlled 18th-century heritage landscape of deforested parkland.

  • Attenborough at 99: naturalist ‘goes further than before’ to speak out against industrial fishing in new film

    The celebrated presenter warns of ‘modern day colonialism at sea’ as he highlights the destruction caused by overfishing and bottom trawling

    When David Attenborough’s Blue Planet II documentary aired eight years ago, its impact was so strong it was credited with bringing about a revolution in the way people use plastics. Now film-makers are hoping he can do the same for other destructive environmental practices that the world’s best-known living naturalist describes as “draining the life from our oceans”.

    The industrial fishing method of bottom trawling is the focus of a large part of Attenborough’s latest film, Ocean, which airs in cinemas from 8 May, the naturalist’s 99th birthday. In a remarkably no-holds-barred narrative, he says these vessels tear the seabed with such force “the trails of destruction can be seen from space”. He also condemns what he calls “modern day colonialism at sea”, where huge trawlers, operating off the coasts of countries reliant on fish for food and livelihoods, are blamed for dwindling local catches.

  • Arctic plant study reveals an ‘early warning sign’ of climate change upheaval

    A warming tundra has seen unexpected shifts, raising the alarm about fragile ecosystems and those who rely on them

    Scientists studying Arctic plants say the ecosystems that host life in some of the most inhospitable reaches of the planet are changing in unexpected ways in an “early warning sign” for a region upended by climate change.

    In four decades, 54 researchers tracked more than 2,000 plant communities across 45 sites from the Canadian high Arctic to Alaska and Scandinavia. They discovered dramatic shifts in temperatures and growing seasons produced no clear winners or losers. Some regions witnessed large increases in shrubs and grasses and declines in flowering plants – which struggle to grow under the shade created by taller plants.

  • Dying satellites can drive climate change and ozone depletion, study finds

    Aluminium emissions from satellites as they fall to Earth and burn up is becoming more significant as their numbers soar

    Right now there are more than 9,000 satellites circumnavigating overhead, keeping track of weather, facilitating communications, aiding navigation and monitoring the Earth. By 2040, there could be more than 60,000. A new study shows that the emissions from expired satellites, as they fall to Earth and burn up, will be significant in future years, with implications for ozone hole recovery and climate.

    Satellites need to be replaced after about five years. Most old satellites are disposed of by reducing their altitude and letting them burn up as they fall, releasing pollution into Earth’s atmosphere such as aerosolised aluminium. To understand the impact of these growing emissions from expired satellites, researchers simulated the effects associated with an annual release of 10,000 tonnes of aluminium oxide by 2040 (the amount estimated to be released from disposal of 3,000 satellites a year, assuming a fleet of 60,000 satellites).

  • Country diary: The sizzling sound of ants en masse | Sara Hudston

    Horner, Somerset: The woodlands here are ideal for southern wood ants – and now the nests have come alive

    You can hear when the wood ants wake up from hibernation. Heaps of soil, loose sticks and pine needles that lay inert all winter start seething with a continual, multidirectional flow of insects, whose footfalls make an incessant sizzling sound.

    Exmoor’s woodlands are ideal for southern wood ants (Formica rufa), the largest of the four British wood ant species. The sandy, sunny path at Webber’s Post above Horner is lined with nests, the biggest of which is a sprawling dun mound a metre high and nearly six metres across, with a network of hidden underground tunnels and chambers beneath. It’s possible that the whole stretch is really one linked colony divided into various nodes, each occupied by hundreds of thousands of workers and several queens.

  • ‘Chipmunks were obsessed with my mics’: the man who recorded a tree for a year

    Joshua Bonnetta spent 8,760 hours recording a pine – then honed it down into a four-hour album full of creatures, cracking branches and quite possibly the sound of leaves growing

    What does a landscape sound like when it’s not being listened to? This philosophical question was a catalyst for film-maker and artist Joshua Bonnetta, who has distilled a year of recordings from a single tree in upstate New York – that’s 8,760 hours – into a four-hour album, The Pines. As Robert Macfarlane writes in his accompanying essay, The Pines is a reminder of the natural world’s “sheer, miraculous busyness”, its “froth of signals and noise”. It is rich with poetic meaning, and resonant amid the climate emergency.

    “It started as a personal thing,” Bonnetta explains from his studio in Munich, where he relocated from the US in 2022. For over 20 years he has made sonic records of places as private mementos, but recent experiments with long-form field recording led him to push himself “to document this place in the deepest way I could”. On a residency in the Outer Hebrides between 2017 and 2019, Bonnetta made the sound installation Brackish, a month-long continuous radio broadcast from a weather-resistant hydrophone – an underwater mic – by a loch. “I started to leave the recorder for a day or two, then it just got longer,” he says. “Amazing things happen when you’re not there to interfere … This allows you a different, very privileged window into the space.”

  • Why effects of Michigan’s ice storm will linger for months, perhaps years

    Climate experts say warming atmosphere from climate change could fuel severe freezing rain and ice storms like the one that hit the upper midwest last month

    Winter has been slow to release its icy grip from the upper midwest this year, and in northern Michigan, its effects will be keenly felt for months, perhaps years.

    A devastating ice storm that hit late last month has left an estimated 3m acres of trees snapped in half or damaged from the weight of up to an inch-and-a-half of ice across the northern part of lower Michigan.
