Source of Water in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Tap water in Tuzla comes mainly from groundwater and spring sources in the wider Spreča River basin. The principal sources are the Stupari and Toplice springs, supplemented by groundwater from the Spreča source.

The municipal water utility, JKP Vodovod i kanalizacija Tuzla, collects and treats this water before distributing it through the city water network. Water quality is monitored and treated to meet Bosnia and Herzegovina’s drinking water standards.

Tuzla Drinking Fountains

Treated public tap water in Tuzla generally meets drinking-water standards, but public fountains are safe only when officially designated as potable and regularly maintained. Fountain water may come from a separate spring or local supply that is not monitored as consistently as the municipal network.

Use only fountains marked as drinking water and kept in good condition. Avoid unmarked, damaged, poorly maintained, or temporarily closed fountains, and choose bottled or treated water instead.
