Feces were removed from the beach after three days

Readers of "Vijesti" complained on Monday that faeces from Gornji Šušanje flow into the sea through an arranged channel. "The republican inspection was notified a few days ago, they said they were not competent. Morsko dobro Budva was notified a few days ago - they said they would notify 'someone down there'. On Monday morning, we called the Bar sanitary inspection - they don't answer the landline," the readers said

It took three full days, and the hottest one this summer, in the peak of the season, for the competent institutions to remove the pool of feces that appeared last weekend on the Žukotrlica beach in Šušanj.

Water and sewerage workers started cleaning up the sanitary incident on Monday afternoon, which was completed on Tuesday before noon, and this was done after "Vijesti" contacted the acting president of the Ministry of Health of Šušanj, Peša Glavanović, following a report from readers.

"I was out of town so I wasn't aware of what was happening. As soon as "Vijesti" called me, I called the Waterworks administration, which immediately dispatched a cistern," Glavanović said.

Readers of "Vijesti" complained on Monday that faeces from Gornji Šušanje flow into the sea through an arranged channel.

On Monday morning, we called the Bar sanitary inspection - they don't answer the landline," the readers said.

After receiving the report, the municipal police sent inspectors to the scene, who informed the Waterworks, but the Waterworks workers allegedly informed them that all their overflow manholes were in order, and that the cause should be sought in the bad condition of the collectors.

The executive director of the Waterworks and Sewerage Mladen Đuričić said yesterday that for this company "a special and so far unsolvable problem" is the maintenance of the sewage collector along the IV Proleterska Brigade Street.

"The existing technical solution does not provide the necessary functional capacity of the collector to accept all the waste water from the settlement that gravitates to it during the tourist season, when it is additionally loaded. This results in the occasional spilling of waste water at the emergency outlet near the "BB" restaurant. That's why we introduced round-the-clock duty at the outlet to prevent the spillage of wastewater or at least reduce it to the minimum possible," said Đuričić.
