Members of Belgrade Waterworks have, in the shortest possible time, managed to stop the leakage of water after the disaster that happened today on the main water supply, in the Street Omladinskih Brigada on New Belgrade.

The director of the Enterprise, Svetozar Veselinovc says that immediately after receiving word concerning the problem, workers of Waterworks went on site, and eliminated the problem.

We are working hard to solve the problem. Since it is concerning a large pipeline, in which, at the time of it bursting, had a pressure of six Barrs,  and in turn created a large crater shortly after.
