Budapest Waterworks Helping Belgrade with Drinking Water Supply

The low river water level is a problem in the capital of Serbia. Most wells are obsolete and provide little water. In line with the excellent intergovernmental relations, Hungarian experts are helping supply the capital of the neighboring state with drinking water. We have learned from the daughter company of the Budapest Waterworks, Duna-Kut Kft, that the company has already fully reconstructed four wells and increased the amount of water they provide.

– At the request of the highest management of the Belgrade Waterworks and Sewer company, a Ranney well is handed over for temporary operations, so as to mitigate the problems with water supply in Belgrade. In order for a continuous flow of sufficient drinking water from the tap to be secured in Belgrade, just like in Budapest, it is necessary to reconstruct other wells too – the company says.

Thanks to the success of the work so far, they are convinced that they will be trusted to reconstruct the remaining wells too.

– The agreement signed by the Hungarian minister of foreign affairs and the Serbian minister of economy provides a good basis for the abovementioned, one of whose more important items is to carry out the program of reconstruction of Belgrade wells in cooperation with Budapest – it is said.

This agreement was reconfirmed following the meeting of the joint economic board of the mixed committee of the Serbian and the Hungarian governments in Belgrade on June 3-4, 2021.
