Abstract
Utility services represent economic activities of special social importance, as they determine the quality of people's everyday work and life. The local self-governments need to provide utility services of acceptable scope and quality for their citizens. Among them, supplying the population with hygienically correct drinking water is one of the main tasks, but also an indicator of sustainability. The aim of this chapter is to investigate the current state of the public utility systems in the Republic of Serbia and consider their future perspectives. The secondary goal of this work is the analysis of sustainability trends related to SDG 6 in the Republic of Serbia. The main conclusion of the work is that there is certain significant progress in transformation and reorganization in the water sector, as well as positive progress in reaching the SDG 6 target, but further institutional and legislative reform is necessary as well as an increase in the volume of investments.
