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 records hottest day of year as forecasters warn of more extreme heat

    Temperature reaches 30.5C in Kent as amber health alerts issued before bank holiday temperatures rise

    The UK has recorded its hottest day of the year so far, with temperatures reaching 30.5C in Kent as forecasters warned more extreme heat could follow over the bank holiday weekend.

    The temperature in Frittenden also marked the first time since 2012 the UK has reached 30C in May, according to the Met Office.

  • Could nature itself hold the solution to climate change?

    Technological interventions face huge financial or practical challenges, but there is another way

    In 2019, my scientific research was nearly brought to an early end when my team and I published the bombastic statement that natural forest restoration was the “best climate change solution” available in a paper for the peer-reviewed journal Science.

    I remember a colleague from the World Wildlife Fund advising me that this message represented career suicide. He argued that people would be furious because reducing greenhouse gas emissions was the most urgent priority. The revival of nature might help with 30% of our carbon drawdown needs, but you cannot stop rising temperatures without cutting emissions.

  • Squeals of horror over price caps – but how are we going to fix our broken food system?

    Global events and the climate crisis have left Britain’s food system dangerously exposed and in desperate need of an overhaul

    The news that the Treasury was asking UK supermarkets to cap price rises on essential foods was greeted with predictable squeals of horror this week. Supermarkets were reportedly “furious”, while luminaries from the former head of the Institute for Fiscal Studies to the former chair of M&S could be found harrumphing about the evils of price controls.

    But this caterwauling is a distraction from two unpleasant facts. Firstly, the food price surge over the summer and beyond is likely to be significant – and will come on top of a near-40% rise in the price of food since 2020 – due to a devastating combination of the Iran war and a forecast record-breaking El Niño, which will hammer global food production. And secondly, Britain’s food system is painfully exposed to such shocks. The long-held assumption that a global food system can be relied on to meet the nation’s needs, at a reasonable price, no longer applies.

  • Treasury rejected ministers’ plan to cut VAT on public EV charging to 5%

    Department for Transport is understood to back reducing levy, which critics have called a ‘pavement tax’

    Government officials considered cutting the VAT charged on electricity used at public EV chargers from 20% to 5% at the last budget, but the Treasury under chancellor Rachel Reeves rejected the proposal amid disagreement between departments.

    Officials in the Department for Transport encouraged electric car charge point operators to write to the Treasury explaining how they would respond to a VAT cut, according to three industry sources. The charger companies said that they would pass the tax cut on to consumers.

  • ‘Turn off the juice of the rulers!’ Who are the Volcano Group, mystery saboteurs behind a five-day Berlin blackout?

    Earlier this year, the city was hit by its longest power cut since the second world war. But were those responsible eco-terrorists, agents of the far-right, or even Russian proxies?

    Sebastian Brandt, chief technician of the Immanuel hospital in the leafy, affluent Wannsee district of Berlin, guessed something was wrong as soon as he opened the window of his home and smelled diesel. It was 3 January, a freezing Saturday morning, and luckily the hospital opposite had relatively few patients on this post-holiday weekend. As he looked out, the diesel fumes told him that the emergency generator – a huge, deafening, decades-old machine in the basement – had kicked in. That meant the hospital was no longer getting power from the grid. And that meant Brandt was not going to have a quiet weekend.

    Although an emergency generator keeps a hospital running, it has its limitations. Surgical procedures have to be cancelled, and though generators are tested regularly, no one can be certain what will happen when they are kept running for days on end. The generator tank in the Immanuel hospital contained about 3,000 litres of diesel, and Brandt had calculated it would burn about 550 litres a day; when the grid operator informed the hospital that the outage might last until the end of the following week, Brandt was quickly dispatched to fetch more diesel from the nearest petrol station that was still on the grid. Meanwhile, he’d heard that a neighbouring hospice was going to move its patients to the hospital, too.

  • ‘There is no great master plan’: anxiety as UK homes, roads and railways sink into the sea

    Increasing coastal erosion has hit communities’ livelihoods and put lifestyles under threat

    The remains of the road linking two towns in south Devon lie crumbled on the foreshore in a mess of tarmac, steel and concrete.

    The dramatic coastal road, known as the Slapton Line, has an environmentally protected freshwater lake on one side and the sea on the other, and links the towns of Kingsbridge and Dartmouth. But this year, winter storms demolished a section of the A road between Torcross and Slapton, which is at the frontline of rising sea levels and coastal erosion, fulfilling a destiny that was predicted more than 30 years ago, but that has not been prepared for.

  • Young country diary: Helping a butterfly into its new phase of life | Ottoline

    Cambridgeshire: It was nearly ready to fly but it was partly out of its chrysalis and partly still in it

    On Sunday morning, I was pottering in the garden wondering what to do. I saw a flapping coming from my wildflower patch, so I went to my clump of clover. I pushed it away, only to reveal a large white butterfly fresh out of its chrysalis. It had been drying its damp wings in the sun.

    Then I realised that part of the butterfly’s chrysalis was still on its wing, and the other wing was already dry and ready to fly. I watched the butterfly for a while. The butterfly tried to get the chrysalis off, but it had used up all its energy. I realised that it needed some help, so I tugged the chrysalis as gently as I could. The butterfly didn’t move but the chrysalis did, so I tugged a little bit harder and off it came.

  • Endangered sawfish at risk from plan to double water extraction from WA’s Fitzroy River, advocates say

    The Martuwarra Fitzroy catchment is home to four of the world’s five sawfish species, which rely on large groundwater-fed pools to survive the dry season

    Conservationists fear a government plan to double groundwater extraction from the Martuwarra Fitzroy River catchment in Western Australia could jeopardise threatened sawfish populations.

    The untamed river, which flows 700km through the Kimberley to King Sound, is considered the last stronghold for sawfish globally and is home to four of the world’s five species.

  • This US island is home to flora found nowhere else. Now, a wildfire threatens extinction

    Firefighters are racing to douse flames on California’s Santa Rosa Island as experts express concern for unique habitat

    On the south-eastern corner of Santa Rosa Island lies a grove of a few thousand Torrey pine trees, some of them more than 250 years old. The only other place on earth where these gnarled pines exist is in San Diego county, but biologists classify the two groves as different subspecies. So when a rare wildfire broke out on Santa Rosa Island late last week, firefighters raced to keep it from spreading into the grove, where it threatened to consign the island’s Torrey pines to extinction.

    So far, they appear to be succeeding – even as the 18,000-acre fire has torched nearly one-third of the island’s surface. But biologists who have studied Santa Rosa Island’s unique ecology are watching anxiously as the fire continues to burn a part of the island that is home to six plants found nowhere else on the planet.

  • ‘We will not survive’: jailing of Daria Egereva highlights plight of Russia’s Indigenous people

    Authorities are cracking down on rights activists fighting for Indigenous people threatened by authoritarianism, extractivism and climate breakdown

    The operation began at 9am Moscow time, but took place across all of Russia’s 11 time zones. Almost simultaneously, agents of the federal security service (FSB) raided the homes and workplaces of 17 Indigenous rights activists.

    Officers carried out searches, confiscated laptops and phones, and arrested and interrogated activists about participation in international forums. Most were let go; many have since left the country. Others remain in Russia, but will no longer speak up.
