Work on the project to renovate Iva Vojnovića Street in Dubrovnik has hit another snag. On Tuesday, August 11, 2026, the contractor, Tehnogradnja, punctured a water pipe, leaving part of the city neighborhood without water. This is the second such incident in less than a month.
Which parts of the city are without water
As confirmed by the municipal utility company Vodovod Dubrovnik, part of Iva Vojnovića Street, specifically the stretch from Petra Preradovića Street to City Cafe at number 34, is currently without water supply. Additionally, the entire Augusta Šenoe Street is also without water.
Repair work and expected restoration
Vodovod Dubrovnik staff immediately went to the site and began repair work on the damaged pipeline. According to the information we currently have, the repair should be completed by 7 PM, after which the water supply in the area should return to normal.
Recurring infrastructure issues
This is not the first time that work on the project has led to water supply disruptions. Just over two weeks ago, a nearly identical situation occurred when, for the same reason, part of Iva Vojnovića Street, from dr. Ante Šercera Street to Petra Preradovića Street, including all side streets branching off them, was left without water.
