Abuse of Dimal's hot springs/ Juliana Memaj spends 220 thousand euros to bring water to the failed project!

Mayor of Dimal Municipality, Juliana Memaj

The Mayor of Dimal continues her "madness" to turn the quarry town, full of dust, mud and cleared forest, into a tourist attraction.

A few years ago, he spent 160,000 euros to redevelop the spa area in that city, which is seeing the hill above it being flattened day by day by large quarrying firms.

But this has not stopped Juliana Mema from allocating more money for a failed project, which, although it was arranged for the curious eye, lacked the most important thing in spas: water!

But, again, this mayor insists on putting that project into operation, while she has allocated another amount, this time larger than the entire previous investment.

According to documents available to VoxNews, Memaj ordered several months before the general elections to hold another tender for the spas, this time only to transport water.

It is learned that a procedure has been opened with the object of "second phase of the requalification of the school", while the limit fund for this investment is 21.6 million lek, or about 220 thousand euros.

But, if the construction investment cost 160 thousand euros, will it take a full 220 thousand to bring the water? For a small work, will it take (along with the design and supervision) a full 400 thousand euros? And for what, for a small bathtub that fills with water. Especially since, as soon as the first investment was made, the source was lost.

A great paradox, which shows more how things are done in small municipalities. Or how public works and the tax money of those residents, whose primary livelihood is to make a living, are abused.

But instead of taking action on the hill, on the town's streets, and on the road system to separate them from the quarries, this mayor continues to insist on the spas. There are two options: either the mayor will "cover up" the first abuse or she tries to give the same firm more money.

After the investment, the lakes dried up.

According to documents and photos available to our editorial team, a few years ago the Municipality of Dimal, which was previously named Ura Vajgurore, allocated an amount of 16 million lek.

In 2021, a tender was opened with the object of "requalification of the spa area" in the "28 Nëntori" neighborhood. It is learned that the project was done quickly for a "Tourist Albania", while the winner of this procedure was the union of the operators "KOLOSEU" and "FLED", who also had the highest bid in this tender worth 15.6 million lek. The other firm that participated and had a lower bid was disqualified.

According to photos available to VoxNews, less than a year after construction, the wells had no water. It is learned that before the investment, the well always had water, but it seems that the municipality or the companies designed and built it incorrectly.

Then another study was done for the area and an amount of 22 million lek was already allocated. But who is responsible? So far, the Dimal Municipality has not come to any conclusion as to whose fault it is, the companies or their employees.
