Skopje is undertaking a significant effort to enhance public access to potable water by rehabilitating numerous public drinking fountains. According to Mayor Orce Gjorgievski, more than 220 drinking water fountains are currently being rebuilt and reintroduced across the city. The announcement, made on June 30, 2026, highlighted the necessity of this municipal project, particularly as the city faces increased demand for water during hot summer months.
Gjorgievski noted that historically, a considerable number of these public fountains had fallen into disuse due to accumulated negligence and minor infrastructure defects. To address this decline, the mayor confirmed that the city, in partnership with JPP “Water and Sewerage,” has systematically repaired and restored the functionality of these public water sources. The revitalization effort aims to ensure that the city’s residents have reliable access to clean drinking water wherever they are located.
This initiative underscores a broader commitment by the local government to improve public amenities and address crucial civic needs. By reactivating these fountains, the city aims to mitigate potential shortages and improve the overall quality of life for its citizens, especially when high temperatures place greater stress on local water resources. The focus remains on maintaining robust and accessible public water infrastructure throughout Skopje.
