Gravity supply schemes have lower operational costs compared to pumped water supply schemes, which require the use of energy.<\/p>\n<p>Tepelena Water Utility covers two municipalities with its services, Tepelena and Memaliaj. Until recently, the utility had operated both schemes for water supply.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-657\" src=\"http:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Bambull-Memaliaj-300x169.png\" alt=\"Bambull Memaliaj\" width=\"257\" height=\"145\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-658\" src=\"http:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Benc-Tepelen\u00eb-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Benc Tepelen\u00eb\" width=\"257\" height=\"145\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Bambull Memaliaj \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Benc Tepelen\u00eb<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The water supply project for the Municipality of Memaliaj, which has been under development since 2011, involved a long transmission main of 7.4 km, starting from Reservoir No. 2 in the Municipality of Tepelena to the reservoir of the Municipality of Memaliaj, with an average flow rate of 40 l\/s and the difference in height of 18.5 m.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-659 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/8-300x174.jpg\" alt=\"8\" width=\"281\" height=\"163\" \/>The Municipality of Memaliaj, together with its surrounding areas has a population of nearly 8,000 inhabitants. It was previously supplied from a pumping station in the Village of Bambull, about 5 km away, by two pumps (220 kW and 250 kW), consuming a minimum of 125,000 kWh\u2019s per month, due to the amortization of the transmission main and the distribution networks. During the summer, the water supply lasted for 2 &#8211; 3 hours per day, while during winter; it only increased to about 6 hours per day. This system ensured a supply of nearly 30,000 cubic meters of water a day, causing the pumping system to operate 24 hours a day.<\/p>\n<p>In May 2015, the utility began the construction of the gravity supply scheme from Reservoir No. 2 of Tepelena to the reservoir of the Municipality of Memaliaj, and after 5-months the work was completed successfully. The average flow rate is 50 l\/s, and the maximum goes up to 80 l\/s during winter. The supply source coming from the Village of Bence supplies about 100 l\/s of water during winter and 70 l\/s during summer, from which the Municipality of Tepelena, during the winter gets 10-20 l\/s and during the summer, 30 &#8211; 40 l\/s, while the rest goes to supply the Municipality of Memaliaj. Although the water demand is estimated to be up to 20 l\/s, the new water supply system has a capacity to provide up to 60 l\/s.\u00a0 Despite the investment, due to thehigh amortization of the distribution network and because of the work in process to install residential water meters, the utility is not yet able to achieve continuous water supply.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-660 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/9-300x191.jpg\" alt=\"9\" width=\"238\" height=\"151\" \/>This investment is only one of the interventions that the Tepelena Water Utility is undertaking to\u00a0increase performance efficiencies and improve service delivery quality for its customers.\u00a0 The new investment saves up to 125,000 kWh of electrical energy per month.\u00a0 For the utility, these energy savings amount up to 50% of the total revenues of the utility.\u00a0 \u201cBased on our provisions, if we keep managing this situation, in year 2016, for the first time, we will be able to cover our operating costs, while at the same time, increase the hours of water supply and ensure proper billing for the customers through the use of newly installed water meters.\u00a0 Our challenges are focused on improving the distribution network of the two municipalities, so that we can ensure 24-hours of pressurized water supply throughout the year, using the gravity-fed scheme with spring water. From a utility close to bankruptcy for many years that was not able to pay its electricity bill to supply the pumping stations, today, Tepelena Water Utility is headed towards financial sustainability\u201d says Tepelena Water Utility Director, Mr. Arben Kacorri.[:]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[:sq]\u00cbsht\u00eb e ditur se shoq\u00ebrit\u00eb uj\u00ebsjell\u00ebs operojn\u00eb n\u00eb dy sisteme t\u00eb furnizimit me uj\u00eb: sistemin me vet\u00eb rrjedhje dhe sistemin me ngritje mekanike.
