Due to record-high water consumption during a prolonged drought, Istarski vodovod i odvodnja has issued a final warning to residents to reduce unnecessary water usage to avoid potential supply reductions. The utility has urged citizens to stop watering green areas and washing driveways immediately. The increased demand is attributed to high temperatures and prolonged dry conditions, which have placed significant pressure on the distribution network. Existing pipes of smaller profiles cannot simultaneously provide sufficient water to all users, according to the utility. The appeal applies to specific areas including Vižinada, Kaštelir-Labin, Višnjana, Tinjan, Baderna, Žbandaj in Poreč, and Barat in Kanfanar. Residents are also warned that reduced pressure in the network could lead to cloudy water, and they should notify the duty dispatcher if this occurs.
