Summary
  • Ličke vode warned of reduced spring yields due to prolonged drought.
  • Citizens are urged to use water only for essential needs and to limit watering, vehicle washing, and pool filling.
  • If the hydrological situation worsens, the company will be forced to introduce temporary water supply reductions.

Due to the extremely unfavorable hydrological situation caused by a prolonged dry period, the company Ličke vode issued an urgent appeal today, August 11, 2026, to all users in the Lika region. The water utility warns that reduced spring yields and available water quantities have been recorded, and the water supply system is further strained by increased consumption and frequent network failures.

Appeal for Rational Water Use

Since it is not possible to predict the development of hydrological conditions in the coming weeks and months, Ličke vode urges citizens to use water exclusively for basic household and economic needs. Until further notice, users are asked to reduce unnecessary water use, such as watering lawns and gardens, washing cars, filling pools, and similar activities that consume large amounts of water.

Possible Supply Reductions

The company's employees are making significant daily efforts to ensure regular supply and to resolve any failures as quickly as possible. Despite this, they emphasize that if unfavorable hydrological conditions continue or worsen, they will be forced to implement temporary water supply reductions. The goal of such a measure would be to ensure the population is supplied with basic quantities for essential needs, and the public will be promptly informed of any changes.
