Coastal Cities Pollution Control Project 2

closed

The objectives of the Second Coastal Cities Pollution Control Project are: (i) to improve the provision of efficient and sustainable wastewater services in participating coastal municipalities; and (ii) to reduce the nutrient load entering Croatia's coastal waters from, and pilot innovative 'wastewater treatment solutions in, selected municipalities. There are three components to the project. The first component of the project is wastewater investments. This component will improve the coverage of wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal services. The second component of the project is institutional strengthening. This component will improve the ability of the sector to meet European Union (EU) accession requirements; to improve the financial and operational efficiency of the municipal water and sewerage companies; and to effectively manage the project. The third and final component of the project is seawater quality monitoring. This component will improve the seawater quality monitoring systems of Hrvatske Vode (HV), and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, Physical Planning and Construction (MEPPPC) to better assess the impact of the investments in wastewater collection and treatment.
