A large portion of Skopje's citizens woke up on Wednesday morning to discover that their water supply was cut off. The announcement from the Water Supply company probably did not reach most people, so they were unpleasantly surprised. Citizens were unable to either get a drink of water or bathe in it. Most of them rushed to the local stores to obtain bottled water.
Even though there have been instances when the water supply was cut off for a few hours, this time it was announced that the water supply will be cut off for the entire day.
The settlements and customers which will be without water on Wednesday are: Bardovci, Vizbegovo, the industrial zone beside Kacanicki road, Suto Orizari, Butel 1, Butel 2, Radisani settlement, village Radisani, Kucevicka Bara, Skopje-Sever, army base Ilinden, Topansko Pole, elevated Kale zone, elevated Gazi Baba zone, Zelezara, industrial users in the mining and ironwork district and the elevated zone in Avtokomanda.
"Water Supply and Sewerage-Skopje" company stated that the water supply was cut off due to the installation of a new extension for a pump station in Suto Orizari.
Four water tanks will be available to the citizens. One will be located near the Gynecology Hospital in Cair, and another will be in near the outpatient clinic in Zelezara. The remaining two will be mobile, their location depending on citizen needs.
