Urban Water Supply and Sewerage System
At the time of the project, Banja Luka had population of 230,000, and the water supply situation was critical due to high water losses and faecal contamination of River Vrba, the main water source.
The project “Urban Water Supply and Sewerage System, Banja Luka” focused on improving the reliability and sustainability of the water supply and sanitation services in Banja Luka and thus improving living conditions, raising public health standards and facilitating economic growth. The main project objectives were:
