The Law

The public water supply and sewerage service includes the totality of activities of public utility and general economic and social interest carried out for the purpose of the collection, treatment, transportation, storage and distribution of drinking water on the territory of the administrative-territorial unit, as well as for the purpose of the collection and purification of wastewater. This service is regulated, in particular, by the Law on public water supply and sewerage service No. 303/2013. The object of the law represents the creation of the legal framework for the establishment, organization, operation, regulation and monitoring of the public drinking water supply and sewerage service in the conditions of accessibility, availability, reliability, continuity, competitiveness, transparency, respecting quality, safety and environmental protection. Everything that exceeds these activities is not subject to the regulation of the Law No. 303/2013. And the application of the “share” is an illegal activity that is punishable in accordance with the legislation in force.

The public water supply played a major role in the urbanization of Debrecen city, just like in the case of many other cities. We had plenty of water and so we wasted it. However nowadays we experience a considerable decrease in the level of groundwater which causes an increasing need of energy for pumping. Beside the above mentioned the ecological threat and the decreasing water quality are also major problems. This study attempts to draw attention to the possibilities and the future of the regional water supply, by showing the history of the water supply, the sanitation systems of Debrecen and their present day activities.

Abstract From all the methods applied in preventing dental caries, the most significant is the use of fluorides. Nowadays, 6 decades after its massive use, it can certainly be argued that it is the most efficient, cheapest and safest way of preventing dental caries, confirmed by more than 150 longitudinal studies. In order to determine the presence of fluorides in drinking water, in coordination with the Institute for Public Health of the FYR Macedonia in 2009, we conducted a research for determining the presence of fluorides in drinking water from the public water supply in the country. The results from the research showed that concentration of fluorine in drinking water in our country is under 0.3ppm (0.3 mg per litre of water), which indicates a really low amount in accordance to the WHO standards. Optimal concentration was registered in only few water supply facilities in less settled areas, while hyper-fluorinated water was registered in few village wells, which were put out of use after they were located.

The paper focuses on the issue of drinking water supply without use of any disinfectants. Before the public water supply network operator begins to consider switching to operation without use of chemical disinfection, initial assessment should be made, whether or not the water supply system in question is suitable for this type of operation. The assessment is performed by applying the decision algorithm. The initial assessment is followed by another decision algorithm which serves for managing and controlling the process of switching to drinking water supply without use of a disinfectant. The paper also summarizes previous experience and knowledge of this way operated public water supply systems in the Czech Republic.

The Right

One of the prerequisites for a healthy human life is access to drinking water through a public water supply service and the drainage of wastewater and polluted water using public drainage services. The Constitution of the Republic of Croatia guarantees the right to a healthy life, and the State should provide conditions for a healthy environment. The United Nations General Assembly Resolution no. 64/292 of 2010 recognizes the right to safe and clean drinking water as a human right of great importance for the full enjoyment of other human rights. The paper will present some of the indicators of access to public water supply and sewerage services, such as: percentage of connection to the public water supply system, residential water consumption, access to flushing toilets, connection to the public sewerage and connection to the wastewater treatment plant. The analysis will be made for the following countries: Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia. At the end of the paper, a conclusion will be drawn, taking into account the observed indicators for the analyzed countries.

System Data

This study aims at analysing physical, chemical and microbiological properties, and content of macro- and microelements in the water from the Pozarevac city public water supply system. Analysis shows an increased content of Ca in drinking water, as a result of the position of Pozarevac on the sediments of river terrace of accumulative character of t1 type, predominantly consisting of quartzite. The water from the public water supply is alkaline (?calcic?, ?bicarbonate water?) and very hard, due to the increased Ca content. Beside Ca, potassium and aluminium exceed the maximum contaminant level, while Pb and Cd are at the very limit. Calculated data show that there are no short-term health risks regarding elements exceeding allowed concentrations found in the public water supply system. Data analysis regarding long-term health risks shows that Cd present in drinking water poses the only relevant threat to human health. Cancer risk is present in 202 out of 1000 inhabitants using this water.

Heavy Metals (HM) are relatively dense metal or metalloid noted for its potential toxicity in the environment and these metals appear in the World Health Organization List of Chemicals of public health concern. Long-term exposure to HMs have been linked to slowly progressing physical, muscular and neurological degenerative processes in human that mimic Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, liver and kidney failures as well as alterations in gene expressions. This study assessed the concentration of some HM in public water supply in Abuja Metropolis from 2015 to 2016 with the view to determining its overall percentage compliance with the WHO(2008) recommended limits for drinking water quality . The HMs selected were aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn). A representative water samples from the six locations within the study area were collected and analyzed according to the Standard Methods and Procedures. Sampling regime took place three (3) times in each sampling month from which the monthly and annual mean values were obtained and analyzed statistically. The result indicated the following mean concentrations Al (0.61±0.13mg/l), Fe (0.21±0.06mg/l), Pb (ND), Cr (ND), and Mn (0.03±0.03mg/l). The overall average percentage compliance WHO limits were Al (70.60%, Fe (85%), Pb (100%), Cr (100%) & Mn (91%) respectively. The results revealed that all the selected HMs concentration in the public drinking water within the period were within the WHO recommended aluminum concentration that was slightly above the recommended limit of 0.20mg/l. The study recommended for limit except a substitute of aluminum sulphate in public water treatment and also concluded that the selected HMs concentrations in the public water supply in Abuja Metropolis within the period were in compliance with the WHO quality for safe drinking water and therefore safe for human consumption. However, concern was raised for its aluminum level and possible health implications on long-term exposure particularly the aged population.
