Residents of several villages in the Dupnitsa municipality have daily problems with water.

Because of the old Eternite pipes in Yahinovo, Samoranovo and Krajnici, accidents happen almost every day and people do not have water for hours.

The municipality of Dupnitsa took out a loan with which it will partially repair the water supply network in the settlements.

In the largest village of Dupnis, Yahinovo, where about 2,000 people live, accidents with the water supply are a daily occurrence.

"Continuous accidents, sometimes we even have two accidents a day every day of the week. The infrastructure is ruined by this," says Sofka Skokleva, mayor of the village of Yahinovo.

The water is not good to drink.

Last summer in Yahinovo, the water pipe was replaced on one of the most problematic streets.

Now, with funding from the municipality, the repair of the water supply network in the village continues.

"The municipality of Dupnitsa took out a loan that ensured, albeit partially, the replacement of water pipes in three of the large villages - Samoranovo, Yahinovo and Krajnitsi. I'm not saying that this solves the problem, but it at least partially helps. In this case, in the village of Yahinovo, there will be replaced 900 meters of water supply pipe," said Metodi Chimev, mayor of Dupnitsa.

In Samoranovo, where people protested several times last year because of frequent water cuts, the street water supply was also partially replaced.

"They fixed a few things and this summer I can say that there are fewer accidents, but muddy water flows constantly. Especially after rain, then some kind of accident, the situation is the same - we either have to buy water or fill up from above from the taps," says one of the villagers.

At the moment, in Samoranovo, they are partially replacing the water pipes in three more streets.

The repair costs a little over 350 thousand BGN, and the amount is provided by the municipality of Dupnitsa.
