"Shocking Information": Tusk Demands Explanations from Tauron Over "Unforeseen Discharge" from Reservoir
Joanna Kopczyńska, head of Polish Waters (Wody Polskie), informed during a crisis management meeting in Wrocław that an unforeseen discharge of water occurred into the Mietków reservoir from the Lubachów hydroelectric power plant reservoir, administered by Tauron.
- As Polish Waters, we were not informed about this discharge. This water is heading towards Marszowice. […] Over 100 soldiers have been deployed to lay sandbags on the embankments. […] It is unknown if an evacuation might be necessary. […] If the reservoir holds water for a very long time, seepage can occur. […] Therefore, we urgently need the military to check what is happening there - she stated.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk responded to this information, calling it "shocking."
- We had information that Tauron, which is a key partner in certain aspects, that the cooperation was going well, for example, in the Opole region. However, this information we received from you about the water discharge, the lack of information, and cooperation, is shocking, to be honest - he emphasized.
- I would very much ask for very precise information: what is the chain of command at this moment in the context of the law, operations on reservoirs, and waters at Tauron's disposal: are they unequivocally obliged to follow our orders. […] I am ready to use all available methods to discipline companies that are theoretically independent but must be absolutely subordinate in this situation - he stated.
Tusk: I expect commitment and vigilance. There is no time for procedural convenience
The head of Polish Waters explained that she had already contacted the CEO of Tauron and received information that communication errors would be eliminated, and the lack of information resulted from Polish Waters not being listed in the relevant instruction as recipients.
- I will take action after the briefing. […] I will not accept this explanation from Tauron that they acted in accordance with regulations, but not energetically enough. Here, people work around the clock, exceeding regulations. I'm exaggerating, but you know what I mean. I would expect similar commitment and vigilance from everyone. There is no time for procedural convenience - Tusk commented.
