Construction of Podgorica Wastewater Treatment Plant

Construction of Podgorica Wastewater Treatment Plant

Project Description

Podgorica is serviced by a wastewater plant built in the 1970s, performing well below the capacity needed to meet present demand. About half of the effluent is discharged untreated into the Morača River running into the Skadar Lake - an internationally-recognised wetland area.

This investment project will build a new wastewater treatment plant for the city, a sludge incineration plant, and extend the sewerage network. These investments will enable the collection and treatment of the wastewater generated by the city in line with EU standards.

The WBIF Bilateral Donors provide the funding for the supervision of works and co-finance the wastewater treatment plant.
