Residents of the village of Mazhiq have formally submitted a complaint to the Municipality of Mitrovica concerning the severe lack of potable water, a shortage that has profoundly impacted daily life in the community. According to reports shared on social media, the critical lack of basic necessities has led to a significant demographic decline in Mazhiq, with the population reportedly falling from an estimated 50 families to fewer than 10. The absence of reliable water supply has created a cascade of issues affecting community infrastructure.
A village announcement highlighted that the primary school is currently non-operational due to the low student enrollment, and the lack of public transportation services further compounds the difficulties faced by remaining residents. Kushtrim Zeneli, a resident of Mazhiq and former employee of the Pristina Water Supply, attributed the crisis to the failure of the pumps responsible for supplying the village with water. He indicated that while equipment for reactivating the system was scheduled for 2025, the immediate cessation of service has left the community without essential resources.
The persistent lack of water in Mazhiq represents more than just an inconvenience; it affects public health and the viability of local services. Officials and residents are demanding immediate intervention to restore consistent water access. The current situation underscores the urgent need for infrastructure maintenance to sustain life in Mazhiq, as the community grapples with the ongoing scarcity of clean water.
