The works that were a prerequisite for the inclusion of one of the reservoirs in Dulovine in the water supply system have been brought to an end.
This was told to "Vijesti" unofficially in the Kolašin local administration.
Allegedly, only an analysis of the correctness of the water is awaited, so that facility will become part of the water supply network. The works, which began in mid-May, as it was announced at the time, will increase the volume of the reservoir space for the so-called and (lower) water supply zone, from 800 to 3.800 cubic meters.
The Municipality and the Water and Sewerage Company explained at the beginning of the works that, bearing in mind the role of the reservoir in the water supply system, in addition to increasing the volume of the water reserve, better and easier regulation of uneven consumption during the day will be enabled. Also maintaining pressure in the distribution network and zone.
Putting the reservoir into operation, that is, by increasing the volume of the reservoir space, "will extend the time in which the system can function, that is, in which the consumers will have water, even in the event of interruption of the flow of water from the source to the reservoir."
In the Kolašin water system, one old tank with a volume of 800 cubic meters, which is also located in Dulovine, was in operation until now. In its vicinity, about fifteen years ago, a "new" tank with two chambers, with a total volume of 3000 cubic meters, was built, but it was never in operation. That facility, according to data from official municipal documentation, never received the necessary work permits. It was only last year that a solution was determined, which made it possible to include it in the system.
As previously explained in Water and sewerage, both reservoirs will function as storage tanks.
The work on the new tank is part of the reconstruction of the water supply network, which also includes the repair of defects and the replacement of faulty fasteners and fittings in the existing shafts, which is planned to eliminate part of the losses, reduce the pressure drop in certain parts of the system and thus improve the functioning of the water supply system .
