The rehabilitation efforts for a section of the Ibër-Lepenc canal commenced in Zubin Potok. State officials stated that this infrastructure project is crucial for bolstering regional water security and safeguarding vital local infrastructure. The launch ceremony was attended by Prime Minister Albin Kurti and the Minister of Economy, Artane Rizvanolli.
During the event, Minister Rizvanolli highlighted the strategic importance of this investment, noting its direct impact on regional water supply, energy production capabilities, and overall security. The need for this extensive repair follows a significant incident that occurred on November 29, 2024, when the Ibër-Lepenc canal experienced a burst in Zubin Potok. This event caused substantial damage and resulted in a disruption to established water security protocols across the area.
The ongoing rehabilitation work is focused on restoring the integrity of this key waterway system, which services the region encompassing Zubin Potok, Mitrovica, and the Lajme Rajoni i Mitrovicës. The repair of the canal is viewed by authorities as essential to mitigate future risks and ensure consistent resource management for the community. The project aims to restore the canal to full operational capacity, thereby stabilizing the water resources vital to the economic and daily life of the surrounding localities.
