NEW WATER SUPPLY FACTORY
The
session held by the City Council in Banja Luka on March 4, 2002 made a
decision, proposed by the "Vodovod" a.d. Banja Luka, to build
a new water-supply factory "Novoselija 2". The new
water-supply factory will be built next to the already existing one in
Novoselija, which is 6 km upstream the city. The
results of long-term studies, concerning water quality parameters, show
that water taken from the river Vrbas can be placed in the second class
according to its quality. With appropriate treatment this water could be
convenient resource for the drinking water production. The
choice for a new water factory location was determined by everything
stated above and the fact that we reserved space for the new water
factory when we were building the existing one in 1977, together with
the plans for its extension. Property-legislative relations have been
solved even then. Some of the second unit facilities were finished at
that time also, for instance: water intake, supply pipe-line network,
water tower, chemistry building, power supply building, laboratory,
management building. We
have been preparing projects, investments and technical designs, tender
documentation, auctions, contractors and equipment selection, that is,
all the activities anticipated the plan for building the second phase of
the water-supply factory. Construction
works for the second phase of the water-supply factory began on July 29,
2004 by building the filter room and clean water reservoir with capacity
of 7 500 m3.
The
filter room and clean water reservoir were set into place on April 29,
2007. Expanding the reservoir space up to 10 000 m3 and the
capability of direct filtration for the longest period of a year provide
sufficient water quantities for next 15 - 20 years. "Vodovod"
provided conditions for further construction works on water supply
facilities (reservoirs, pumping stations and distribution network) where
it is necessary, that is in the areas of Tunjice, Karanovac, higher
zones of Kočićev vijenac,Paprikovac and Česma.
