Čačak: Water Network Modernization and Resource Saving

The city of Čačak has taken significant steps in recent years to modernize its water supply system. Aging infrastructure, which in some parts of the city remained unchanged for decades, is slowly being replaced by modern materials and smart management systems. These works are not just a matter of technical maintenance; they directly impact the quality of life for all residents of Čačak.

Replacing Asbestos Pipes: A Health Priority

One of the most critical projects in Čačak is the gradual replacement of old asbestos-cement pipes with new polyethylene materials. Beyond being prone to bursts, asbestos pipes no longer meet modern environmental and health standards. The new network ensures cleaner water, better tap pressure, and drastically reduces the frequency of emergency repairs.

Reducing Network Losses

Water loss in older systems can be immense, sometimes exceeding 30% of the total water extracted. By modernizing metering points and installing leak detection sensors, the Čačak Water Utility can respond more quickly to faults that are often not visible on the surface. This leads to direct resource savings and lowers the costs of water treatment and distribution.

Water Supply During Droughts

Čačak often faces increased water demand during the summer months. Strengthening main pipelines and improving reservoir connectivity allows for a more stable supply even during the hottest days. While appeals for rational water use remain important, a modern infrastructure is the foundation that ensures water restrictions become a thing of the past.
