The fact is that Shkodra does not suffer from a lack of water resources, but they had to change how it managed their water supply, and making that change was the direct responsibility of the Water Supply and Sewerage Company of Shkoder.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_886\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-886\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mark-Molla-Director-of-UK-Shkoder-following-the-work-in-progress-on-a-water-main.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-886\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-886 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mark-Molla-Director-of-UK-Shkoder-following-the-work-in-progress-on-a-water-main-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Molla, Director of UK Shkoder, following the work in progress on a water main\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-886\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Mark Molla, Director of UK Shkoder, following the work in progress on a water main<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The new Director, Mark Molla, who has only been in his position for six months, said to his staff from his first days, <em>&#8220;we are not allowed to deprive the citizens from being supplied regularly with drinking water, because they have trusted us with this duty, and this is why we are being paid\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With these words, Director Molla organized a group to define the necessary repairs needed in the water supply network; and assigned the specialists of the utility to undertake the repairs. \u00a0In order to meet the target in the shortest time period, the work often continued during the night, sometimes even during heavy rain. \u00a0After the network repairs were addressed, the work continued on cleaning the drinking water reservoir at the Tepe Hill, where in 25 years no cleaning work was ever done. \u00a0The situation at the reservoir was so serious that it was difficult to distinguish the reservoir from the field of brush around it, while the outdoor lighting system was completely missing and had to be replaced.<\/p>\n<p>UK Shkoder also cooperated with the Drainage Board of the City from where they received the necessary equipment to clean the main sewage collector of the City that carries the collected sewage flow to Lake Shkodra.\u00a0 This cleaning was essential in order to avoid flooding in the City during the winter rains. \u00a0This collector is very important to the City of Shkoder, because through this channel 70% of the City\u2019s wastewater is being discharged.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_887\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-887\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Working-through-the-night-to-make-the-necessary-repairs-to-the-water-supply-system..jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-887\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-887\" src=\"http:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Working-through-the-night-to-make-the-necessary-repairs-to-the-water-supply-system.-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Working through the night to make the necessary repairs to the water supply system.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-887\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Working through the night to make the necessary repairs to the water supply system.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>During this same period, the work continued to ensure the supply of drinking water to the\u00a0residents of communes that have now become a part of the newly defined Municipality of Shkodra as a result of the Territorial Administrative Reforms passed by the Parliament. \u00a0On example of the action taken by UK Shkoder was the rapid repair of a broken transformer at the pumping station that supplied the Village of Guri i Zi, and which had been out of service for more than a year. \u00a0Specialists from UK Shkodra intervened and within a few days the issue was resolved, to the delight of the residents of Guri i Zi, who organized a ceremony for this occasion. \u00a0This area was previously served by the Shkoder Village (Rural) Water Supply Company, which lacked the resources to effectively respond to the many defective situations in its many water supply systems. \u00a0In similar manner, and in moving to serve its expanded service area, UK Shkoder made similar repairs of water supply system in the newly added communes of Rrethina, Postrrib\u00eb, Dukagjin and others.<\/p>\n<p>On the institutional side, the Municipality of Shkoder has started the procedures for merging the Shkoder Village Water Supply Company into UK Shkodra, thus having a single, joint water supply and wastewater utility for Shkodra that extends from Velipoja at the seaside, to the Alps at Theth. \u00a0&#8220;We believe we are doing a good job that will create an even stronger utility, even though the service area is very wide and rugged. \u00a0According the government decision on this issue, the merger of the two companies into a single one will be concluded within this year\u201d said Director Molla.<\/p>\n<p>Of a particular interest is the Velipoja beach area, since a safe water supply, and wastewater collection and treatment are always of great importance to tourists. \u00a0UK Shkoder is confident that by June 2016, the wastewater project in Velipoja will be completed, which means that this summer tourists in Velipoja will find a much cleaner environment. \u00a0Similarly, they will also be able to appreciate improvements in the supply of drinking water as well.<\/p>\n<p>The next objective for UK Shkoder is focused on the commercial and financial sustainability of the utility.\u00a0 In this regard, past due debt collection is an important issue, since it currently amounts to hundreds of millions Albanian Lek. \u00a0The initiative to be taken in this area will start with collecting the debts of public institutions, various business enterprises and gradually the debts of households. \u00a0UK Shkoder is pleased to have the strong support of the Mayor, Ms. Voltana Ademi; the Prefect, Mr. Paulin Radovani; and the District Police Director, Mr. Lorenc Panganika.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that we will make these actions successful, and there will not be any threats of water shortages for the customers, as it is unacceptable to us to not be able to provide water to people in the Year 2016.\u00a0 With persistence, we will achieve to collect the debt, not by frightening people with water shortages, but by providing our customers with a reliable, trusted water supply service,&#8221;
