Since there was no water for over 24 hours, citizens and tourists were forced to buy bottled water.

Director of Budva's Water supply Milenko Medigovi said that the repeated malfunction of the Regional supply showed that the system is not safe.

- We came do a decision to put on standby local source Podgor, so the city could be plugged in if it happens again, because the season is well on the way - said Medigovic.

Citizens of Budva pay the highest price for water on the coast - 1.66 euro per cubic meter, and twice as much for the economy.

From the Regional water supply reports say that due to the bad weather there has been a malfunction on Bolje Sestre facility.

They claim that this situation once again confirmed the importance of the local sources and the fact they haven't build a needed infrastructure to regularly supply the consumers, and the emphasis on the lack of reservoir capacities whit which they could prevent uneven distribution of water. "Therefore we advocate for the unique and responsible observation of water sector on Montenegro coast which functions as a whole", said in the report.
