Summary of the project
(up to 1500 characters)
|
- Construction of the Central Waste Water Treatment Plant (CWWTP) in Vrbas
- Phase I Waste Water Treatment Facility for loading of 120.000 population equivalent
- Phase II (not included in current investment project) potential extension of the Waste Water Treatment capacity by 60.000 PE (to total capacity of 180.000) – subject to demand.
The CWWTP would treat sewage discharges from Vrbas and Kula towns, villages of Vrbas municipality and pre-treated industrial wastewater for identify ed industries.
- Extension of the sanitary sewerage collection system
Additional sanitary sewerage system shall be constructed in: Kucura, Zmajevo, Bačko Dobro Polje, Ravno Selo and Savino Selo, and would include the following: 83,2 km of collection network, 30 km of transmission main and 22 small pumping stations.
The extension of the sanitary sewerage collection system will significantly improve the coverage in waste water collection, and will substitute current practice relying on individual septic tanks that represent potential source of pollution of ground and surface waters, and serious health hazard.
Through the project the urban area of Vrbas and the 5 villages are to be fully covered, including a connection to the CWWTP.
- Main sewers connecting Kula to CWWTP Vrbas
Also, it is planned to connect the sanitary sewerage system of Kula town to the CWWTP by constructing the main sewer line between Kula and Vrbas, and corresponding sewage pumping stations. Sections I to III of the main sewerage line between Kula and Vrbas have already been completed, whereas sections IV and V (some 6,6 km long) are yet to be constructed.
