If citizens would regularly pay their water bills, water supply would be MUCH better, because citizens owe 64 million BAM to the PUC “Water and sewage”, said the director of this company, Nezir Hadzic.
“We are planning to take 60 million BAM of the loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and that money will not be sufficient to carry out the reconstruction of the network in a way that is required by global standards,” said Hadzic.
He added that with this credit, for which is already prepared the project documentation, they will change the aggregates and reconstruct the most painful point of this company, which is the source Bacevo that supplies about 95 % of the population with water.
He stated that 887 people are employed in this company, of which 70 % of people carry both field and administrative work, and 30 % only administrative.
He recalled that this company had 126,000 hydrological places in 1999, and that this number today amounts to 178,000 and that Sarajevo expands rapidly nowadays as the city, and that the company still has the same amount of water.
Hadzic concluded that there will be no price increase for water and that they are going to focus all of their capacities on cost savings and the reconstruction of water supply network in Sarajevo.
