Vodoopskrba otoka Hvara

Objavljeno u Zdravlje

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 kaptažcrpilišteLibora”, hidrotehnički tunelPitve-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.

  • Scottish Water boss says average Scot uses 40% more water than people in Yorkshire partly due to mistaken belief water is abundant in Scotland

    Scottish households are being urged to cut back heavily on their water use and instead treat it as a precious resource due to the growing threat to supplies from climate heating.

    Alex Plant, the chief executive of Scottish Water, said the average Scot used 40% more water than consumers in Yorkshire, partly because there was a widespread but mistaken assumption that water was abundant in Scotland.

  • Critics say change in biodiversity protections would harm environmental recovery and make scheme ineffective

    Plans to weaken environmental regulations for small housebuilders would allow developers in England to build on an area the size of the Yorkshire Dales in the next 10 years without replacing the nature they destroy, according to analysis.

    Labour wants to remove the requirement for small housebuilders – those whose sites are under a hectare (2.5 acres) – to replace the nature they destroy under existing rules known as biodiversity net gain.

  • Exclusive: Restrictions on shot and bullets containing toxic metal to be phased in over three years from 2026

    Shotgun pellets and bullets that contain lead are to be banned for almost all uses, ministers have said, in a long-awaited announcement welcomed by wildlife groups.

    The restrictions will be phased in over three years from 2026, rather than the five set out in an official report last year, prompting some shooting organisations to say replacement ammunition may not be fully available in time.

  • With forests under pressure from drought, heat, disease and deer, a study has found fewer trees across a range of species surviving to maturity. But scientists say there is still hope

    To the untrained eye, Monks Wood looks healthy and lush in the summer sun. Hundreds of butterflies dance on the edge of footpaths in the ancient Cambridgeshire woodland, which is rich with ash, maple and oak trees. Birds flit through the hedgerows as they feed. A fox ambles through a forest clearing, before disappearing into long grass.

    But for a number of years, it has been clear to Bruno Ladvocat and Rachel Mailes that something is missing. In 2022, Ladvocat, Mailes and their research team from Birmingham University were out sampling when they noticed that the small trees that typically cover the woodland floor were increasingly hard to find.

  • A €5.5bn project has transformed the Emscher from ‘the sewer of the Ruhr’ to a place where nature is starting to flourish

    Strolling beside the Emscher, the Tyczkowskis say it is the stench that they remember most about the river’s darker days.

    “The whole thing was filthy and it stank terribly,” says the couple, a retired watchmaker and tax adviser in their 80s. Were they ever tempted to take a dip? “No,” they laugh in disgust. “There were other things swimming inside.”

  • In the days since the deadly floods in the Texas Hill Country, speculation has grown about whether cuts to US weather agencies may have contributed to the the number of casualties. Ian Sample talks to the meteorologist and climate journalist Eric Holthaus to find out whether this narrative stacks up and what the consequences could be for extreme weather prediction in the future

  • There’s no shortage of ideas for how to make air travel greener. But it has to start within the industry – and with workers

    I love flying. I’ve wanted to be a pilot since I was young. I grew up in Chichester, West Sussex, under a flight path used by Gatwick airport planes, and used to watch as they traversed the sky. In 2019, once I had qualified as an airline pilot, I began working for easyJet. Aviation connected me to my extended family in Canada, exposed me to different cultures and gave me an unforgettable career. But in November 2022, I handed over my airport ID card for the last time. I had grown increasingly anxious about the effect that our industry was having on the planet and, deep down, I knew that my concern for the climate crisis meant being an airline pilot was damaging my mental health.

    Despite no longer working in the industry, my love of aviation has driven me to protect our ability to fly for future generations. It inspires me to address the uncomfortable realities and decisions our industry now faces. Everyone knows that aviation has a gigantic emissions problem. In 2022, the UK’s domestic and international flights produced 29.6m tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions, accounting for about 7% of total UK greenhouse gas emissions. This is projected to increase to 11% by 2030, because while other sectors are decarbonising, aviation emissions will remain stable or even increase.

  • With less congestion, less carbon pollution, less accidents, could it be a model for other US cities? Six months in, environmentalists say yes

    It has faced threats and lawsuits and even had its death proclaimed by Donald Trump as he startlingly depicted himself as a king in a social media post. But New York City’s congestion charge scheme for cars has now survived its first six months, producing perhaps the fastest ever environmental improvement from any policy in US history.

    New York vaulted into a global group of cities – such as London, Singapore and Stockholm – that charge cars for entering their traffic-clogged metropolitan hearts but also ushered in a measure that was unknown to Americans and initially unpopular with commuters, and was confronted by a new Trump administration determined to tear it down.

  • Exploring the magical landscape that inspired Narnia and stars as a location in Game of Thrones – just an hour outside of Belfast

    Where is the finest mountain panorama in the UK? As a nine-year-old I was taken up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and told it was the best. Even in those days, it was a struggle to see much except the backs of other people. The following summer Scafell Pike got the same treatment and the next year we climbed Ben Nevis. I disagreed on all counts. For me, Thorpe Cloud in Dovedale was unbeatable, despite it being under a thousand feet tall. What convinced me was the diminutive Derbyshire peak’s shape: a proper pointy summit with clear space all around, plus grassy slopes that you could roll down. The champion trio could not compare.

    This panorama question is in my mind as I begin hiking up Slieve Donard, Northern Ireland’s highest peak (at 850 metres), but a mountain often forgotten by those listing their UK hiking achievements. And a proper peak it is too, with a great sweeping drop to the sea and loads of space all around, guaranteeing, I reckon, a view to beat its more famous rivals.

  • Shanxi produces more coal than India. How will it survive in China’s clean energy future?

    Deep in the recesses of an underground cavern, covered in dust and soot, Xu Xiaobo wondered why, having recently graduated with a degree in mechanics, he was on his hands and knees sifting through layers of coal sludge. But there was no time to ponder the ancestral forces that had brought him down into one of his province’s oldest mines. There was coal to dig for.

    New to the job, keeping up with colleagues was challenging. As he tried to crawl at speed under a conveyor belt of coal, he landed badly and sprained his wrist. He still can’t rotate it properly.
