Riko
and its partner companies, Teleg M and Proadria, began construction on the
water supply system in the Črnomelj, Semič and Metlika municipalities and the
construction of the sewerage system in the Metlika municipality in 2010. A year
into the successful construction, we are pressing on with the work.
The water supply system in Metlika,
Semič and Črnomelj that we will hand over to the inhabitants of Bela krajina in
2013 will provide a modern and quality supply of drinking water to this part of
SE Slovenia. The system will make it possible to utilise common water sources,
enable the connection of new users to the public water supply network and
supply the inhabitants of Bela krajina with sufficient quantities of clean
water, all of which will serve to enhance the health and safety of the people.
We are convinced that the water supply system will indirectly improve the
conditions for further economic development of the Bela krajina region.
We have to date built approximately
26km of the water supply system and a little less than a kilometre of the
sewerage system in Metlika. The newly obtained building permit will enable us
to quickly connect a further 11km stretch of the water supply system, construct
several water reservoirs and continue our work expediently in line with the set
plans.
Riko and its partners are carrying out
this important project responsibly and according to stringent standards as we
are aware that its value does not lie solely in the comprehensive arrangement
of the water supply and the discharge of waste water in the territory of three
municipalities of Bela krajina, but also has an ecological dimension – it
namely safeguards the invaluable water sources.
