The water supply system in Metlika, Semič and Črnomelj that we will hand over to the inhabitants of Bela krajina in 2013 will provide a modern and quality supply of drinking water to this part of SE Slovenia. The system will make it possible to utilise common water sources, enable the connection of new users to the public water supply network and supply the inhabitants of Bela krajina with sufficient quantities of clean water, all of which will serve to enhance the health and safety of the people. We are convinced that the water supply system will indirectly improve the conditions for further economic development of the Bela krajina region. 

We have to date built approximately 26km of the water supply system and a little less than a kilometre of the sewerage system in Metlika. The newly obtained building permit will enable us to quickly connect a further 11km stretch of the water supply system, construct several water reservoirs and continue our work expediently in line with the set plans.

Riko and its partners are carrying out this important project responsibly and according to stringent standards as we are aware that its value does not lie solely in the comprehensive arrangement of the water supply and the discharge of waste water in the territory of three municipalities of Bela krajina, but also has an ecological dimension – it namely safeguards the invaluable water sources.
