For over 11 years, there has been a fight between the City Office of Myszków and the Regional Water Management Board in Poznań over the evasion of responsibility (by the latter) for cleaning the riverbed of the Warta River in our city.
Unfortunately, even if we as a city wanted to “take it upon ourselves,” the local government law does not allow us to do so, and any penny spent from the city’s budget for this purpose would be a violation of budget discipline.
However, the concern of the Mayor of Myszków Janusz Romaniuk is that the river is safe and orderly. Therefore, the city offers to help with the ongoing maintenance of the riverbed, such as by mowing it through our socio-useful workers or disposing of collected impurities. We clean the separators at the outlets of rainwater drainage annually. Also, thanks to the city’s efforts last year, the Regional Water Management Board in Katowice cleaned a significant section of the Czarna Struga riverbed, preventing flooding on Kopernika Street.
Also, at the initiative of Mayor J. Romaniuk, a meeting will take place at the end of September with representatives of the Regional Water Management Board in Poznań responsible for this task. Extensive correspondence on this topic between the City Office of Myszków and the RZGW in Poznań attests to the city’s authorities’ ongoing interest in this topic.
