Source of Water in Pag, Croatia

Tap water in the city of Pag comes primarily from the regional water supply system, which brings treated water from mainland sources in the Velebit area to Pag Island through a submarine pipeline. The local utility distributes this water through the town’s network.

The water is treated and monitored under Croatia’s drinking water standards before entering the supply system. Local wells and other island sources may supplement the network, particularly during periods of high summer demand.

Pag Drinking Fountains

Public drinking fountains in Croatia are generally safe to use when they are clearly marked as drinking water and properly maintained. Municipal supplies are subject to Croatian and European Union drinking-water safety standards.
