The short-term measures for rehabilitation will be concentrated in the northern peripheric areas of the town Dobrac and Golem. An important focus of the measures is put on implementation of new water supply networks in Northern areas with high losses and illegal connections, incl. DMA establishment.
DMAs – District Metering Areas – are a key element in drinking water infrastructure which allows monitoring and controlling water inflow and water losses.
