ZAGREB, May 12, 2018 – Three contracts on investing 4.5 million kuna in the construction of water supply infrastructure in Dubrovnik County and a programme of reducing water losses were signed in Dubrovnik on Friday.
The contracts refer to the construction of facilities in the water supply system in the Zaton-Orašac agglomeration and a water loss management programme.
The state-run water management company’s CEO Zoran Đuroković spoke about other projects under way in the county aimed at improving water provision and water loss management.
Environment Protection Minister Tomislav Ćorić said at the Dubrovnik ceremony that in 2017, Croatia was faced with 49% of water loss in its water supply system, which he described as unacceptable.
Therefore, in 2018, 100 million kuna are being invested in efforts to deal with water losses, he said.
