Communal Services

Communal services include providing essential public utilities and maintaining infrastructure in municipalities and settlements.

These services are divided into:

• Individual consumption services: charged directly to identifiable users, such as water supply, waste collection, and sewage treatment.
• Common consumption services: benefit the entire community and include public lighting, stormwater drainage, public transport, maintenance of public spaces, waste disposal, road upkeep, and other communal facilities.

The providers of these services are responsible for ensuring quality service, maintaining infrastructure, and protecting the environment.

Maintenance of Sewer Systems

• Maintenance of sewers
• Maintenance of gutters and culverts
• Maintenance of open drainage channels
• Maintenance of permanent and temporary watercourses

Maintenance of Local Roads

Maintenance of local roads is a demanding task due to their length and age. The total length of local roads is 126.1 km, of which 44.5 km are gravel roads.

At the request of local communities, we assist in repairing both asphalt and gravel unclassified roads. The Municipality of Čitluk and Broting co-finance the construction of access roads connecting local communities to the main local roads, depending on available resources.

Key maintenance activities include:

• Repairing and patching asphalt surfaces
• Maintenance of unclassified local roads
• Horizontal and vertical traffic signage
• Winter road services

Public Areas Maintenance Program

The maintenance program covers the central parts of Čitluk settlement along the main road with associated public spaces, as well as sections of the main road in Međugorje with sidewalks. It includes cleaning and sweeping of road belts, as well as maintenance of green areas and tree lines in Čitluk.

These tasks are primarily carried out by JKP BROĆANAC Čitluk under an annual contract, funded mostly through communal fees collected from residential properties. For tasks outside regular maintenance, contractors or unemployed persons are engaged as needed.

The scope has expanded to include maintenance of new public spaces and intersections, especially after constructing sidewalks or landscaping green areas and tree lines. Currently, six green areas with automatic irrigation connected to the water supply network are maintained, including parks, roundabouts, and key intersections.

Key maintenance activities include:
