They are especially important for the development of rural areas, where quality of water service provision is lagging behind the national average. Investments in the public sewerage network aim to achieve renovation and rehabilitation of 851 kilometres of public sewerage networks, as well as the construction and operationalisation of 31 wastewater treatment plants (EUR 561 million, of which EUR 401 million financed from the Recovery and Resilience Facility), to ensure access to appropriate wastewater treatment for an additional estimated 220,000 people. Upgrades to targeted parts of the sewerage system, including extension and reconstruction of parts of the sewerage network are ongoing. So far, 126 kilometres of public sewerage network have been built or reconstructed in 39 project areas across Croatia.More information can be found on the project webpage here or on social media (1, 2, 3).
