In St. Vasil of Himara live approximately 30 permanent families which are mainly engaged in agriculture. Residents complain that they do not have water to irrigate their lands and the reason for this is a contract that the state has signed with the H / C of Bunec.
According to this contract, from May 1 to October 1, the villages of Shën Vasil and Piqerasi were to be supplied with 800 liters of water per second. If this supply was not made then H / C should be closed.
“We have a problem with water because we have not had water for four years. Funds come to the Municipality and no work is done. The canal has not been cleaned for four years “ claim residents.
The water coming from Sasaj passes down the village through underground tunnels and irrigated and other lands beyond St. Basil.
“With that water, not only our lands but also Delvina are irrigated and it went as far as Qafë i Gjashtës. We are the village of donkeys. We have 20 donkeys but today they did not come out here in the square. We do not have a way to get into our gardens. The state does not take over, the Municipality does not take over. Then who will take over “say residents.
Residents even go further where one of them has kept track of dates when they have had water since 2019.
“I have kept the dates when the water came every year. 2019 – on July 25, in 2020- on June 20, in 2021- on June 27. This year they left it at all“.
In a place called “Zhupdena” in St. Basil, a lady who was trying to work in the middle of the heat on a plot, where she had planted some vegetables and trees in an area of 2 dylym tells Fiks that they go away with donkeys and with him can fill water to irrigate the plants and these vicissitudes remove all the inhabitants of St. Basil.
Fiks Fare addressed the Municipality of Himara to ask about the problem raised by the residents. The Director of the Directorate of Land and Pasture Management of the Municipality of Himara, Mr. Ilia Gjika explains that this is a problem.
“We have a dead artery, which we are holding with bandages, with pieces with stitches. Because this canal is 15 km long. At least that much has remained from St. Basil to Volloder, in the Volloder vineyards near Saranda that has been before and has been absolutely damaged along its entire length. Until St. Basil, where the tunnel is, we have not entered the tunnel, (tunnel built before the 1990s) we have been able to maintain it spiritually between the teeth. And we carried water up to near the tunnel. “We have been carrying water for years, and this year we have a problem cleaning it.”.
The director claims that it is a tender that is currently open for its cleaning, but that the winner has not been announced yet. But he adds that currently the cleaning work is being done by the employees of the municipality where they initially started with Lukova, but the decisive factor in the complete cleaning remains with the winning firm of the tender.
Asked why the winning firm has not been announced yet, the director claims that he has no information about this and can not answer, but the fund needed for these irrigation canals should be large, he said as their condition is extremely bad.
