Bad weather in Albania / Kolonja left without drinking water, 133 homes flooded in Maliq

In Maliq, there is the presence of water in 133 homes, five of which are at risk of collapsing.

Severe weather with heavy rainfall has caused major problems in the Korçë region.

In the Municipality of Kolonjë, measures have been taken to divert the river flow in order to prevent damage to the Qinami bridge. Currently, the bridge in Novoselë has been repaired and traffic is continuing normally.

Meanwhile, the water reservoir is being discharged, cleaned, and chlorinated. Samples have been taken for analysis, and the population has been advised not to consume the water until further notice.

In Maliq, 133 homes are flooded, while damages have affected the Mesmal–Velçan–Selcë, Lozhan Fshat, Desmir–Moçan, and Dolan village road segments. In these areas, 5 homes are at risk of collapse.

Traffic on the Korçë–Ersekë, Zemblak–Goricë, and Bilisht–Miras routes is reported to be normal.

An exception is the connecting bridge between the villages of Qinami and Selenicë, which remains blocked since last night.

On the Ersekë–Leskovik–3 Urat segment, travel continues without issues. Likewise, the Maliq–Lozhan–Gramsh border road is fully passable.

On the Korçë–Boboshticë–Dardhë segment, the road has subsided; the responsible contractor has installed temporary warning signage due to the road narrowing.

A problematic situation has also been reported in the Fier region, but according to the latest updates, conditions are improving. The water levels of the Vjosa, Seman, and Shkumbin rivers are falling, and floodwaters have begun to recede from agricultural lands.
