Belgrade faces widespread water outages due to power system maintenance

Residents in multiple Belgrade municipalities are advised of significant water supply disruptions on Tuesday, July 7th. The "Beogradski vodovod i kanalizacija" (Belgrade Waterworks and Sewerage Company) announced that planned maintenance by "Elektromreža Srbije" (Electric Power Transmission Company of Serbia) will interrupt electricity supply to key facilities within the water system.

From 6 AM to 2 PM, consumers in the Rakovica municipality, the Senjak neighborhood (Savski Venac), and the settlements of Železnik, Sremčica, Rušanj, Velika Moštanica, Umka, parts of Banovo Brdo below Požeška Street, Čukarička Padina, Ostružnica, Bele Vode, and Rupčine (Čukarica) will be without water or experience reduced pressure. Additionally, from 6 AM to 6 PM, the Barajevo municipality and the settlements of Ripanj (Voždovac) and Trešnja (Voždovac–Sopot) will face similar water supply issues.

Higher floors in Novi Beograd, Zemun, Surčin, and the Vidikovac and Cerak neighborhoods (Rakovica) will experience reduced pressure and intermittent interruptions between 6 AM and 2 PM. A separate planned maintenance on the water network in the Vračar municipality will leave consumers in a section of Cara Nikolaja II Street without water from 8 AM to 6 PM.

The Waterworks has arranged for water tankers to supply essential needs and urges consumers to store sufficient water for drinking and basic use.
