Description
Since the start of the 19th century, the district office of Celje faced frequent flooding of the river Savinja and its tributaries, caused by snowmelt and heavy rainfall. However, during the first half of the century, the river regulation activities were somewhat inconsistent and slow. After the disastrous flood of 1851, more serious attempts were finally made to regulate the “mountain” river. Nevertheless, until the middle of the 1870s, when the systematic regulation of the river began on a longer stretch between Prihova and Levec, the works were still carried out in a manner similar to that of the pre-March period. Between 1876 and 1893, a significant length of the river was carefully and thoroughly regulated and straightened, giving the impression that there would be no more severe flooding. However, with this project, the river Savinja began to pose a serious threat to Celje; all the materials the river carried accumulated in the city, and by the turn of the century, it often flooded there.

- Vse od začetka 19. stoletja se je okrožni urad Celje ukvarjal s Savinjo in njenimi pritoki, ki so zaradi taljenja snega in nalivov precej poplavljali. A v prvi polovici stoletja so regulacijska dela potekala precej nedosledno in počasi. Po katastrofalni poplavi leta 1851 so vendarle skušali nekoliko resneje pristopiti k regulaciji »planinske« reke. Toda do srede sedemdesetih let, ko se je pričela sistematična regulacija reke na daljši relaciji med Prihovo in Levcem, so dela še zmeraj potekala podobno kot v predmarcu. S temeljitim pristopom so reko v letih 1876–93 na relativno dolgem odseku vendarle regulirali in izravnali, tako da je kazalo, da hujših poplav ne bo več. Vendar je Savinja s tem precej ogrozila Celje; ves material, ki ga je reka nosila s seboj, se je kopičil v mestu, voda pa je na prelomu stoletij praviloma poplavljala prav tam.
