Regional project for the development of water and wastewater infrastructure in the county Braila, in the period 2014-2020, aims to continue the local development strategy of the water and waste water sector in the county, in order to comply with the provisions of the European acquis and to comply with the commitments made through the environmental sector, in the context of PA 3 LIOP/TO 6. The coherence of the project with PA 3, OS 3.2 Increasing the level of collection and treatment of urban waste water, as well as the degree of assurance of drinking water supply to the population, consists of the expected contribution under the specific objective of this priority axis: “Increase the level of collection and treatment of urban waste water and the degree of assurance of drinking water supply to the population”. The investments promoted for water and wastewater infrastructure in Braila county will lead to the achievement of the objectives of Axis 3 LIOP – “Development of environmental infrastructure under conditions of efficient resource management”, anume:Obiectiv Theme 6 “Conservation and protection of the environment and promotion of resource efficiency”, respectively, Specific Objective 3.2 “Creating the level of collection and treatment of urban waste water, as well as the degree of supply of drinking water to the population” and will ensure compliance with the provisions of the European acquis and the commitments made in the environmental sector. Through the project, the following indicators set out in the LIOP will be achieved by 2023: — CO18 Water distribution: Additional population benefiting from better water supply: 57.535 people of whom pop. benef. water complies with 39.456 and pop.benef.extension 18.079.The degree of connection, before the project, to the water supply system, in the project area, is 89.76 % – 181.710 inhabitants (year 2023), of which 70.27 % – 142.254 inhabitants (year 2023), supplied with quality water in accordance with Directive 98/83/EC. The LIOP will reach a connection rate of 98.69 % – 199.789 place. (year 2023), fully supplied with quality water complying with Directive 98/83/EC, contributing to indicator 2S33. The percentage will increase to 99.44 % in the future through investments from other financing sources. — CO19 Wastewater treatment: Additional population benefitting from better waste water treatment: 186.178 equivalent population of which pop.benef. sist. waste water treatment under Directive 91/271/EEC 155.648 LE and pop.extension 30.530 LE The level of compliance, prior to the project, of biodegradable organic load (in l.e.) to systems for collecting l.e. in agglomerations in the project area is 6.05 % (12.478 l.e.). After the implementation of the Project, the compliance level will be 96.30 % (198.656 l.e.). The degree of connection of biodegradable organic load to collecting systems in agglomerations with over 10000 L.E. will increase from 94.94 % – 155.520 L.E., to 98.64 % after project completion will be 161.576 L.E., contributing to
