APPENDIX C – Site visits 4 Site visit 4: Commune Hajmel Date: 24.01.2012 Commune: Mayor of commune: Hajmel (consists of five villages with 6,075 inhabitants in total) Leke Bibaj Mobil: 0672637022 Phone: 026560008 kommunahajmel@gmail.com Villages: Hajmel and Nënshat Commune was visited with Dritan Pistoli, the Social Inspector of ADF, who explained the situation in the commune and translated the interview. The commune consists of five villages with 6,075 inhabitants in total and has four water supply systems. The village Nënshat is part of an old ADF project for drinking water supply, financed by German KfW. The system was finished in 2006 and works by gravity and is therefore easy to handle. The other three water supply systems of the commune work with pumps. The commune is covered by an utility, but it was stated by Dritan Pistoli that the service of the utility is not that well. After finishing the water supply project in Nënshat, the project was handed over to the commune that wants to run the service for that village themselves. According to the mayor of the commune, Leke Bibaj, the commune can take care of the people’s welfare better that the utility, as the chief of the utility is not very linked to the area and can change every few years. One of the problems of the water utility is that they employ too many workers and therefore the service is very expensive. A reform of the structure is recommended. For three villages of 600 families in total, the utility employs nine workers, what means one worker for 70 families. The service of Nënshat is under the commune that employs two workers (one full-time, one part-time) for 400 families with around 2,100 people. This shows that the commune works more effective and cost saving than the utility and should be supported. The problem is that the commune has no license and runs the service illegally without tariffs approved by the WRA. According to Dritan Pistoli, the two solutions for this problem would be to join the existing shareholder company (utility) or to create an own shareholder company in order to get the necessary license. The main purpose of visiting the commune was to talk with the mayor of communes about the two options and the future strategy. Additionally, there was the chance to talk with the mayor of communes about the sanitary situation in the commune and the general attitude of people towards that topic. In general, what could be seen in the commune without visiting all villages, streets and houses seemed to be in a good quality. Next to the LGU building two schools were observed (a primary and a highschool). The interview with the mayor of the commune, Leke Bibaj, was facilitated by Dritan Pistoli from ADF, who translated from Albanian into English. As only the main content was translated, many details got lost. Sometimes Dritan Pistoli had to discuss even a long time with Leke Bibaj to clarify the given information. It seemed that expressions were not used in a clear way and that many misunderstandings occurred. Missing knowledge about technology was another problem. As an example, the mayor insisted on the term “septic tank”, even he explained that the villagers have only pits that are lined with bricks what is not a septic tank. Additionally, it was hard to get the requested information, as the mayor talked about the topic in the way he wanted, what was quite unstructured. Questions had to be repeated several times to get an answer that C.18
APPENDIX C – Site visits was not always satisfying. It was nearly impossible to get any numbers related to the water consumption (amount of produced water, amount of used water, etc.). Figure C.23: Houses in commune Hajmel (Niebel 2012) 4.1 Drinking water supply According to the mayor of the commune, Leke Bibaj, the water service for the village of Nënshat shall stay under the commune. There is enough fresh water available, Leke Bibaj stated the number of 5 l/s for the water production. To measure the water production and consumption, the commune plans to buy four water meters this year. One will be installed in the storage tank and the other three will be installed in the three main lines that bring the water into the villages. Villagers have already water meters in their house. In summer time, all the available water (5 l/s) is used for drinking purpose, the household and for irrigation. The average consumption in summer days was said to be around 1000 l/(family·day) while water consumption in the winter goes down to 500 l/(family·day). The tariff for water supply was increased this year from 20 ALL/m 3 to 35 ALL/m 3 . To check if the numbers of water production and consumption are corresponding, they can be transferred into m 3 /d. The calculations show that the given numbers are reasonable. - Calculation of water production per day: 5 l/s = 0.005 m 3 /s = 18 m 3 /h = 432 m 3 /d - Calculation of water consumption in summer: 1000 l/(family·d) x 400 families = 400 m 3 /d Around 150 families in the village Dheu Lehtë have pumps to get water but no public water supply system. Additionally 100 families from the other villages have wells as well to get their drinking water. The utility covers them only in theory. C.19
