According to the annual plan for maintenance of the canal network of the subsidiary of “Skopsko Pole”, situated in town of Skopje, in November 2021, approximately ten thousand (10,000) meters in total of drainage and irrigation canals were cleaned of sediments and vegetation using machinery, as follows:
MUNICIPALITY OF ILINDEN
- “Canal A” within the municipality of Ilinden in total length of 2800
meters. From 04 Nov until 25 Nov cleaning of “Canal
A” in total length of 2800 meters was carried out. The canal was cleaned of sediments and vegetation using machinery (small excavator “Yanmar”). Normal flow of water in the canal resumed.
- Perimeter canal from settlement of Arachinovo until the Sutash dairy in the Municipality of Ilinden with a length of 1000 meters.
From 18-23 Nov, part of the perimeter canal was cleaned of sediments and vegetation by using machinery (crawler excavator “Sunward”). The flow of water in this perimeter drainage canal was significantly reduced due to unscrupulous citizens disposing of various type of garbage in it, forcing cleaning of the canal to be carried out earlier then scheduled.
- Main canal in the Municipality of Ilinden with a length of 3000 meters.
According to the annual program and action plan with the Municipality of Ilinden, part of the main canal in the Municipality of Ilinden with a length of 3000 meters was cleaned in the period from 11–30 Nov. The main canal was overgrown with vegetation and alluvial material, and was cleaned using “Sunward” crawler excavator. The cleaning of this canal will continue in December, which will ensure normal water flow in the canal.
