After Ilidža, the Waterworks "flooded" Grbavica too

(Patria) - While many Bosnian cities are running out of drinking water, and some have chronic water problems, in Sarajevo we are increasingly encountering artificial ponds on city streets.

Seven days ago, we reported on the problem in the Ilidža settlement of Lužani, after a pipe burst.

Chaos in Ilidža, water pipe burst and flooded several streets

(Patria) - After yesterday's chaos with heavy rain and water torrents on the streets, new problems with water in Sarajevo. A water pipe burst in the Ilidža settlement of Lužani, and water quickly flooded the streets in this settlement. Residents of Lužani say

Tonight, residents of Grbavica are facing a similar problem. At the exit of Grbavička Street onto Bulevar Ivice Osima, water is gushing from a burst pipe and flooding two streets.

Citizens are observing this with displeasure, as the amounts of water flowing out are precious to someone. The question they are asking is who ultimately pays for the water that has leaked onto the street, and we are talking about cubic meters of water.

At the time when Patria's team was in Grbavička Street, the water covered a considerable area, and we did not see teams from KJKP ViK on the ground.

We hope they will react as soon as possible, given that the water could easily obstruct traffic, considering the amount that is flowing out.
