Ribnica, Slovenia, 1. 11. 2019

At the end of October, we successfully completed the construction of the water supply system in the Sodražica - Ribnica - Kočevje area within the contractual deadline.

This project included the construction of 65,570 meters of water pipes, 11 pumping stations, 4 water towers and 3 purification plants for drinking water. The construction work was performed in compliance with two contracts, i.e. Drinking water supply in the area of Sodražica – Ribnica – Kočevje: Water supply system (FIDIC Red book) and Drinking water supply in the area of Sodražica – Ribnica – Kočevje: Purification plants (FIDIC Yellow book).

Thanks to this project 25,114 people, who live in the three involved municipalities are now ensured a better and more secure supply with drinking water and 1.312 people are connected to the public water supply network; 298 in the Kočevje and 1,014 in the Sodražica municipality. This project did not foresee any new water sources, its purpose was merely to preserve the already existing water sources, which are Blate, Slovenska vas, Podstene and the Sodražica bores.
