What JKP Vodovod i kanalizacija does

JKP "Vodovod i kanalizacija" Požarevac is a Serbian public communal enterprise (javno komunalno preduzeće) wholly owned by the City of Požarevac, founded on December 4, 1998, and operating under a municipal concession for water supply and wastewater management in the Požarevac and Kostolac service territory. The company operates and maintains more than 350 km of water pipeline infrastructure, supports drinking water treatment and distribution, performs sewage collection and wastewater treatment with active sludge processing, runs accredited laboratory water-quality testing, and provides 24/7 emergency response, septic tank emptying, and network connection services. Its customer base exceeds 30,000 active households, legal entities, and entrepreneurs, served through a mix of physical cash desks, telephone hotlines, ePortal self-service, electronic billing, and online consumption/bill calculators.

The company generates revenue through a combination of usage-based charges (water supply at 98 RSD/m³ for households and 164 RSD/m³ for legal entities; sewerage at 62 RSD/m³ for both), fixed monthly system maintenance fees (382.50 RSD households; 610 RSD legal entities), one-time connection fees priced by pipe diameter, transaction-based septic tank emptying and equipment/labor rentals, and statutory water use and wastewater discharge fees mandated under Serbian law. Pricing is set through a published municipal price list effective January 1, 2026, with VAT applied at differentiated rates (10% on consumption, 20% on fixed fees and services). Marketing and customer communication rely on the company's own website, ePortal, email, telephone, and public notices, with no paid advertising channels disclosed. Governance is exercised by the City Assembly of Požarevac, which appoints the Director (currently Miloš Kukolj, since 2025), the Supervisory Board, and the Management Board, and the company is currently conducting a joint enforcement operation with the Municipal Inspection of the City of Požarevac to identify illegal sewage connections.

Direct peers

• JKP Beogradski vodovod i kanalizacija (Belgrade Waterworks): Serbian public communal enterprise (JKP) providing water supply and sewerage to the City of Belgrade. Same legal form, same regulatory framework (Serbian communal activities law), same concession-based municipal monopoly model - the closest large-scale analogue to Požarevac.
• JKP Naissus Niš: JKP operating water supply and wastewater services for the City of Niš under the same Serbian communal-utility regime. Directly comparable scale, customer mix (households + commercial), and revenue model (usage-based + fixed monthly fees).
• JKP Vodovod i kanalizacija Subotica: Municipal water and wastewater utility for Subotica. Same JKP legal form, same tiered household/commercial pricing structure, and same scope of services (water supply, sewage, network connections, customer service counters).
• JKP Vodovod Smederevo: Neighboring JKP serving Smederevo with the identical municipal utility mandate - collection, treatment, distribution of drinking water and wastewater management. Geographically proximate peer in the same regulatory jurisdiction.
• JKP Vodovod Valjevo: Mid-sized Serbian municipal water utility. Comparable municipal-monopoly structure, comparable network size relative to served population, and similar pricing transparency (published RSD/m³ rate cards).
• JKP Vodovod i kanalizacija Čačak: JKP utility for the City of Čačak operating water supply, sewerage and related technical services. Comparable size of service territory, customer base, and product mix (metered water, fixed maintenance fees, connection charges).
• JKP Vodovod i kanalizacija Zaječar: Serbian JKP delivering drinking water and sewage services to Zaječar. Same owner structure (municipality), same product portfolio, same regulatory oversight as Požarevac.

Broad incumbents

• Veolia Eau (Veolia Water): Global water utility operator that runs municipal concessions across Europe and emerging markets. Not a direct competitor in Požarevac, but a useful benchmark for operating models in municipally-concessioned water/wastewater delivery, including digital billing and network maintenance.
• Saur (Suez Water): European water/wastewater concession operator serving municipal customers under long-term contracts. Comparable end-users and service scope, though operates under a private concession model rather than public-ownership JKP.

Regional players

• Berliner Wasserbetriebe: Berlin's publicly-owned water utility (100% city-owned, similar in governance to a JKP). Useful benchmark for digital customer-service platforms, tariff structures, and infrastructure management at a comparable city-scale operator.
