Marko Gašić: Work will soon begin in Inđija

The President of the Municipality of Inđija, Marko Gašić, announced the imminent start of works on the construction of the sewage network within the “Clean Serbia” project.

As Gašić told local media, the estimated value of these works is 306,111,330.53 dinars.

“We applied two years ago for certain locations for which we had construction permits. In the meantime, we received some additional locations such as Ljukovo and Jarkovci. The current situation is that during the next week or at the latest, the works would start in Indjija itself, where we have 9.1 kilometers of sewage network,” Gašić told IN media.

According to him, the building permit was obtained on May 17 last year, and the works were approved by the city’s Urban Planning Department on September 26, 2024.

“Clean Serbia” solves the problem of untreated wastewater

In Serbia last year, according to the data of the Republic Institute of Statistics of Serbia, as much as 79.6 percent of waste water was untreated and discharged directly into nature.

This is extremely alarming information, because hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of wastewater from households and businesses contain not only feces, but also food, medicine, chemicals and other harmful substances. When they are discharged untreated directly into nature, most often into flowing waters, they threaten ecosystems and human health.

Recently, Professor Božo Dalmacija from the Faculty of Science and Mathematics in Novi Sad warned that the problem of untreated wastewater does not threaten the largest cities in Serbia, such as Belgrade and Novi Sad, where treatment plants have not even been built, but that this problem exists throughout our country. and in plants that were built several decades ago, and which are out of order.

According to him, about 40 percent of all these purifiers in Serbia fall into this category, which represents a serious problem.

A solution that will stop the pollution of the ecosystem and human health in this way still exists and is being implemented in Serbia. It is the “Clean Serbia” project, which, among other things, envisages the construction of over 5,206,679.31 meters of sewage network throughout Serbia, as well as the construction of 165 new wastewater treatment plants throughout our country.

“Clean Serbia” preserves the fish stock in our rivers

There is hardly a day that the news does not publish information about the death of river fish, and this is not the case only with one river, but such accidents happen on most Serbian rivers. Such events occur due to water pollution and the lack of wastewater treatment plants.

“The discharge of untreated waste water in the majority of cases results in a reduction of the oxygen content in the water, which can be disastrous for the fish stock, especially if such a situation lasts for a long period of time,” said Dragana Keravica from the Public Water Company “Vode Vojvodina” for Agromedia.

The death of the fish world and the ecosystems that depend on them occurs due to the pollution of water courses. It is mostly industrial waste. Heavy metals such as mercury and lead can even settle in the bodies of fish and cause changes in reproductive cycles, damage vital organs, affect the birth of offspring with no chance of survival.

Agricultural pollution rich in nitrogen and phosphorus leads to excessive growth of algae, which reduces oxygen levels in the water. This causes a mass death of fish due to suffocation.

Scientists like Pietro Volta and Mustafa Korkmaz emphasize the importance of combining ecological and social solutions to reduce the negative impact of human activities and climate change on freshwater fish (Save TheWater).

The Republic of Serbia, together with its partners from the CRBC company, is solving the problem through the implementation of the “Clean Serbia” project, which foresees not only the construction of sewage networks in order to prevent the overflow of septic tanks and the discharge of waste water into rivers, but also the construction of a waste water treatment plant.
