The Vodovod company lifted daily restrictions on water supply to consumers in the Pljeval settlement of Guke and the high zone in the settlement of Moćevac, after they recently detected and eliminated several faults in the network, which dominantly affected large losses in the network.

According to Vodovod, losses on the network are largely the result of dilapidation of the water supply network and illegal connections by "unscrupulous individuals who cause immeasurable damage to the entire water supply system and the community." The company, in cooperation with the founder, the Municipality of Pljevlja, started detecting faults and losses in the water supply network.

On the basis of the received offers, the company "PAN INŽENJERING" was engaged, which in five days, together with the workers of the Waterworks, detected numerous faults in the network.

"After these interventions, the losses in the distribution network in the Guke settlement (Bogiševac water supply system) were reduced by as much as 8-10 liters per second, which automatically resulted in the end of daily restrictions that particularly affected the residents of the Guke settlement and the higher elevations of the Moćevac settlement, which are supplied with water from Jugoštica water sources. During the next 5 days of the engagement of the company from Čačak in cooperation with the expert teams of "Vodovod", the losses were reduced by another 5-6 liters per second, which means that the organized action of detection and elimination of faults in the period of 1. – 24.6. losses on the network in the Guke settlement decreased by an average of 16.07.2024 liters per second, which already at this moment caused the end of the restrictive supply regime for the consumers of this settlement, even at night," claims Vodovod.

Director of the Waterworks Mladen Jećimović said that the Municipality of Pljevlja decided to continue with the prevention of detection of large losses in the network, considering that the pilot project gave extraordinary results.

"The ultimate goal will be to reduce losses on the network as much as possible," said Jaćimović.

The management of "Vodovoda" points out that a large number of problems faced by this company have arisen and accumulated over the years, and that in addition to enormous effort, solving them will also require a certain amount of time in order to feel the effects of proper business.

"Despite the best intentions and great effort, the Company cannot influence the unfavorable hydrometeorological situation. The period of drought that we are currently in presents us with a new challenge of how to keep the water supply system stable when the yields of springs from the direction of Jugoštica, Breznica and Odžak are at their minimum," said Jaćimović, appealing to his fellow citizens to use water purposefully so as not to enter into restrictive regimes. water supply that is accessed only in cases where there are no other solutions.
