Kalamaki sewage system, problems noted.

The technical services of the Municipality of Zakynthos are located at the stage of identifying and formulating the failures and shortcomings that render the Kalamaki sewerage network inoperable. Subsequently, the file will go to the Legal Service of the Municipality to determine who is responsible, how the damage will be paid and what procedures should be followed.
Until then, residents and businessmen in Kalamaki will still play a cat and mouse game as to where the sewer system is. As everything seems at least that this year will not be their year to get this much-needed service done.
Two weeks ago, the members of the city council decided to accept the minutes of the Acceptance Committee of the project, which discontinues its operation by relying on a series of shortcomings. It should be remembered that in the past there have been reservations about whether the network can operate, given that some construction faults have been identified, which concerned the pumping stations, rendering their operation unfeasible due to the large volume of wastewater to be discharged .
It is a project that has been hampered by the bourgeois … bureaucracy and tends to have the same evolution as all the other publicly proclaimed projects, but it is uncertain whether they will be completed, delivered, but mainly if they are functional for the community as a whole. The common conviction and disposition of all was that there should be no backfiring but that the necessary procedures were immediately launched. This is also required by the Ministry of Justice Project Controllers who are not willing to accept other delays.

The Commission denies …
It is recalled that the competent receiving committee has announced that it can not receive the project because it did not comply with the stipulations and gave time to remedy the problems that exist.
This is a project funded by European funds, then a budget of 4,350,000 €, for which on 30.08.2010 there was a temporary receipt with the only remark that the road sections should be restored. Several points of the pavement had poor workmanship, resulting in “traps” for passers-by, and even during the summer season some minor accidents occurred.
It has been found that there have been shortcomings and a large piece of more than 500 meters is problematic and can not be operational, while the inflow of rainwater creates a problem in the operation of the biological system. The wells are not properly positioned so that a new parallel duct has to be installed at that point. However, at the time the TYDK had given a certificate of completion of the project. After nine years and after the issue was put to the public prosecutors of the Ministry of Justice, the relevant file was formed. The Municipality with the technical services drafted the final receipt protocol stating that the project was not received.
