Most of Sarajevo without water on Sunday, November 15

Due to regular maintenance and testing of transformer stations at all water supply facilities, which is a legal obligation to perform this test once a year, requiring disconnection from the EP BIH power system, and thus the suspension of all pump units at the facility where the test is being conducted, resulting in the suspension of water supply to certain reservoirs, was announced by VIK, reports the BH News Agency Patria.

On November 15, 2015 - Sunday, between 09:00 and 15:00, testing of the transformer station will be carried out at the main Bačevo source, which will cause water supply in most of the city to be under reduced pressure, meaning that certain parts of the city, depending on the terrain's altitude, will be left without water. Neighborhoods where disruptions will occur are: Mojmilo, Dobrinja, Saraj Polje, neighborhoods from Čengić Vila to Baščaršija, Buća Potok, Briješće, Vitkovac, Zabrđe, Sokolje, Boljakov potok, Velešići, Pofalići, Koševo brdo, Ciglane, Bare – Šip, Kobilja Glava, Hrasno, Hrasno brdo, Trg Heroja, Švrakino selo, Grbavica, Soukbunar, Kovačići, Patriotske lige, Koševo, Alipašina, Mitra Šućura, Podhrastovi, Bjelave, Grdonj, and Sedrenik.

For all information, you can contact the Dispatch Center at phone numbers 033 210 707 and 033 220 453. The testing of transformer stations must be carried out during the day as it involves high voltage and the risk to the lives of employees performing tests on power facilities is significant.
