WATERLINK New Equipment for Better Water Management in Trebinje and Herceg Novi

As part of the WATERLINK project, the City of Trebinje has purchased new equipment to monitor its water supply system, including devices that track flow, pressure, and allow remote household meter reading. This will help detect leaks faster, reduce water loss, and improve network efficiency and reliability. The equipment costs about 132,900 EUR. The project team is also calibrating a hydraulic model and training Trebinje Water Utility staff.

Simultaneously, within the same project, a Monitoring and Management Center for Herceg Novi’s water supply system has been installed at the Opačica source in Zelenika, Montenegro, with an investment of 600,000 EUR. The new system provides full control of the water network, which is a part of cross-border water supply system, offering a level of oversight rare among Montenegrin utilities. Authorities emphasized it benefits not only the city, but the wider region as well, and a similar model is planned for the sewage system in the future.
