Main Points
Residents of the Mlinovi neighbourhood in Zagreb have reported a month‑long leak of sewage‑containing fluid along the public Šumski pillars. The fluid, which occasionally emits a strong odor, has been described by local residents as a potential health risk, although the exact composition of the leak has not been confirmed. The issue was first raised by residents who contacted the city by phone and e‑mail. In a statement posted on social media, the local branch of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) Podsljeme urged city authorities to address the problem urgently. “We do not know what is being released or whether it poses a health risk,” the statement read. “The fluid continues to leak despite our notifications.” City spokesperson Dinka Živalj appeared at a press conference this week to address the matter. She said that employees of the Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (ViO) had already inspected the site but had not identified a rupture or other cause for the leak. “There is no information indicating a burst pipe,” Živalj said. “ViO will continue to monitor the situation and will intervene if a problem is found.” The leak has drawn attention from local media, which has highlighted the contrast between the well‑maintained residential area and the ongoing sanitation issue. A photograph accompanying the story shows a luxury apartment complex in Zagreb, where residents such as Dalić and Kramarić live; one unit is listed for sale at €2 million.
