The water level is at its highest since the serious flooding in Lom in the Spring of 2006, when the customs, hotels and residential and administrative buildings were ruined. The center of Lom was only saved by emergency dikes built around the port.
"The construction of quay walls on the banks of the Danube, to protect our town had to be completed by the end of last year, but it did not happen because of funding problems. This project is of particular importance,” Lom Mayor Dimitar Petkov stated Tuesday.
Petkov concluded by saying that he hoped the project would be finished in 2010 and that the weather would be kind to the town until then.
