JPKP Lazarevac

What JPKP Lazarevac does

JPKP Lazarevac (Јавно Предузеће за Комуналну Привреду "Лазаревац") is a Serbian public enterprise founded in 1937 and wholly owned by the Municipality of Lazarevac, delivering integrated municipal utility services to approximately 70,000 inhabitants across the Lazarevac and Lajkovac municipalities. The company operates as a regulated monopoly under Serbia's communal services framework, providing drinking water supply, sewage collection, municipal solid waste collection, green space maintenance, cemetery and funeral services, parking management, five market types, and vehicle towing (Pauk) services. Its water supply infrastructure comprises two treatment plants (PPV Nepricava with 200 l/s designed capacity and PPV Peštan), 20 drilled wells, 5 reservoirs, 14 pumping and booster stations, and more than 350 km of distribution network, producing over 6 million cubic meters of drinking water annually; the separate sewerage system covers 380 km² with 95 km of fecal and 25 km of storm sewer lines.

Revenue is generated through regulated monthly subscription tariffs for water and sewage, per-use fees for waste collection and other services, and transaction-based charges for parking, market stalls, funerals, and towing. Pricing is set by municipal decision and published across multiple service catalogs (the most recent revisions dated October–November 2024). The company employs 101–250 staff organized into functional work units including Water Supply and Sewerage, Transport and Maintenance, Communal Activities, Electrical-Mechanical Maintenance, Parking Service, Cemeteries, Markets, and Pauk, with separate Executive Director roles for Organizational/Operational Affairs and for Improvement, Water Supply and Water Losses established in 2022.

Distribution is direct to end-users via field operations, physical service points across Lazarevac and surrounding settlements (Baroševac, Rudovci, Vreoci, Stepojevac, Veliki Crljeni, Šopić), an online portal for billing and service requests, and dedicated phone/email channels per department. The company does not pursue geographic expansion beyond its chartered municipality, has no subsidiaries, no funding history, and no M&A activity; strategic activity is confined to operational leadership restructuring, periodic tariff revisions, and publication of an annual Business Program and public procurement plan.
