Raportabove, it is estimated that the coverage of water supply services in Kosovo is about: 70%-75%, while the sewerage services: 50% - 55%11: Service coverage of water supply from public water supply systemsTotal production of water distributed by regional companies in 2008 was 127.3 millionm3. More than half of the water amount (55%), is obtained from surface sources(accumulations), while the rest (45%) from underground natural sources. The followingtable reflects the sources of water supply and quantity in m³ / day.54120 © Agjencia e Kosoves per Mbrojtjen e Mjedisit

The overall length ofwater supply network that is operated and maintained by RWCs is 3.357 km, while thesewerage system of wastewater is 938 km. As a result of high losses from the systemof water supply and because of insufficient production capacity, most of the RegionalWater Companies are unable to provide uninterrupted water supply to consumers.Thus, customers of the region of Mitrovica, Pristina, Gjilan and Ferizaj, face regularwater supply cuts, which cuts are more prevalent during summer months, when waterconsumption increases significantly.Commercial losses are also high, as a result of illegal connections, which are often dueto technically inappropriate connection problems. It also decreases the drinking waterquality.Other problems include: inadequate capacity to retrieve the water resources, nonrationalconsumption and large amount of losses in the network, old filtering andlimited capacity stations, lack of adequate urbanisation in the settlements, expansion ofwater supply system even if the water capacity is limited, lack of stimulating actions fordrinking water saving, lack of professional human resources for water management,etc.27 SHUKOS© Agjencia e Kosoves per Mbrojtjen e Mjedisit55120
