Given that a part of the supply system is aging, considerable investments are being made to improve it. The water supply fulfills the standards of the World Health Organization, though Podujevo sometimes faces water shortages. Podujevo is supplied with water from two sources; firstly, from the water factory in Shajkoc in which the water comes through with a pipe of 8.22 km and secondly, from the pumping system of Peran. In Podujevo, the canalization system is 86.33 km long with roughly 56000 residents being the recipient. Most of the black waters of canalization system flows into Llapi river with no prior intervention, while there is no sprinkler. Podujevo counts 1225.2 km of roads covering 497.7 acres. This includes highway, regional, local and uncategorized roads. While some roads still remain without asphalt, 92.7% of the residents have access to the highroads and 76.89% have access to highways and regional roads. The railway network in Podujevo links Kosovo to Serbia. It is 22 km long and 10 settlements are linked directly to this railroad. 45.08% of Podujevo's citizens also have direct access to it. As of 2010, this railway is inoperative. There are 102 bridges in Podujevo, 96 of whom belong to roadways and the other 6 belong to railways. From the bridges in the roadway, 6 are in highways, 9 in regional roads, and the rest are found in local and uncategorized roads. Also, there is a subway in Merdare which is 1500 m long and belongs to the railway network. The public transport in Podujevo is organized through buses, small buses and other vehicles since there are many villages. Since some of the villages are in deep areas of Podujevo and they have a small number of residents, they do not have access to public transportation. Podujevo is supplied with electric energy through Pristina line with a capacity of 220 kW and from Mazgit line with a capacity of 35 kW. Other lines also pass through Podujevo's territory, but they have international connection purposes such as the 400 kW line which goes to Niš. All of Podujevo's citizens have access to electricity. 66 settlements have a normal distribution and the remaining 12 do not. Public lighting covers 4150 m in urban areas.
