The “Integrated Water Project for Burgas Region” is prepared to build infrastructure that will achieve compliance with national and European legislation in the field of drinking water, waste water discharge and treatment and increase the efficiency of systems and facilities. The project activities aim at achieving compliance with the National Strategy for Management and Development of the Water Sector in the Republic of Bulgaria and the EU 2020 Strategy for Smart, Sustainable and Inclusive Growth through measures for the construction of WSS infrastructure. The designation of the specific WSS sites will contribute to achieving full compliance with the requirements of Directive 98/83/EC of 3 November 1998 and Directive 91/271 EEC of 21 May 1991. As a result of the analyses and studies carried out, the following measures have been identified to be included in the scope of the project: reconstruction, rehabilitation of the existing water and sewerage structure and construction of new systems and facilities in thirteen agglomerations with more than 10,000 eq. — Burgas, Nessebar, Pomorie, Sozopol, Primorsko, Obzor, Aytos, Karnobat, Tsarevo, Kiten, Chernomorets, Sarafovo and Lozenets, part of the separate territory served by Water Supply and Drainisation EAD Burgas. The project envisages the reconstruction of 158.296 km of water supply and 22.147 km of sewerage network, as well as the construction of 6.834 km of water supply and 73.154 km of sewerage network. 1 new WWTP will be built and 3 other WWTPs reconstructed. The reconstruction of 2 PWTPs is also envisaged. The additional number of population equivalents with access to improved waste water treatment after the project as well as the total pollution load collected and treated in full compliance with the applicable legislation as a consequence of the project will be 324 566 p.e. The residents with improved water supply will be 279 011. The scope of investments per agglomeration is described in the additional document “Project description” in point 12 of this form.
