One of my purchase options is in Pirovac, between Biograd and Vodice. I posted a question about that place on another forum and received this worrying reply: "I heard (please, check it twice) that in that area the sewage gets disposed directly into the sea - just a hundred yards from the coastline. During the hot summer wether ig raises an unbearable stench detectible a few miles around." Can anyone confirm or deny the truth of this? And while I'm posting, does anyone know anything good or bad about Pirovac that I should know before I buy a place? TIA.

I alsao heard that Pirovac has a problem with sewage. Best to avoid it! I know I've asked this once before, but does anyone else know anything about this, either to confirm or deny or to quantify the problem? This is actually really important to me as I am very close to closing a deal on property in Pirovac and this could make the difference between proceeding or going right back to square one.

Even if any sewage that is being directly disposed into the sea, this should be rectified in the next couple of years as Croatia has signed an EU directive in regard to this matter.

Just phoned the local tourist office in Pirovac. They told me that there is NO sewage problem there and the water is very clean. A few other people phoned them in the last few days, maybe prompted by you question?

A few other people phoned them in the last few days, maybe prompted by you question? Thanks for your efforts, yes I have also asked the question elsewhere. I'm satisfied now that there is no problem and I think the people who first raised the concern were acting in good faith but wrong. A bit of Chinese whispers I think. I have learned from a good source that there was a problem 3 years ago in Prosika (a bay close to Pirovac ) because of drought, but it was a normal natural process, not because of sewage. It was solved with the assistance of the Oceanographic Institute from Split. Thanks to all incl. Graham (haven't got to answering emails yet).
