The Regional Waterworks Company “Prishtina” has issued a public notice advising all consumers to exercise maximum efficiency when utilizing local water resources. The advisory stresses the necessity of rationalizing the use of drinking water to ensure a stable and adequate supply for the community, particularly given recent increases in overall consumption. Citizens are strongly urged to restrict non-essential applications of the potable water.
Specific areas where conservation is required include washing vehicles, watering expansive garden and green areas during peak demand times, and filling swimming pools. Furthermore, the notice addresses infrastructure requirements for multi-story residential buildings constructed within the last two decades. These structures are legally mandated to install internal pumping systems.
This measure is crucial to maintaining the minimum required water pressure, which must be kept at 1.5 bar (or 15 psi) to ensure consistent service to upper floors. These guidelines are implemented to manage the existing infrastructure and guarantee that essential services remain uninterrupted. The company emphasizes that responsible use by all residents and businesses is vital to sustaining the current supply levels and maintaining reliable access to safe drinking water for the entire region.
Adherence to these conservation measures is necessary to support the overall management of the water network.
