Poland Completes $80m Water Project

Poland has completed a €60m ($79.5m) water enhancement project in Warsaw, benefiting 900,000 residents in the city.

Under the project, a water treatment plant was upgraded and equipped with a new processing technology, improving water quality by 50% and decreasing the level of chlorine dioxide use during disinfection by more than 50%.

The improvements will also ensure stable delivery and increase the water supply up to 200,000m³ per day.

The plant will serve half of Warsaw residents located in the central and southern part of the city, in addition to residents of Pruszkow, Piastow, Piaseczno, Lesznowola, Stare Babice, Raszyn and Michalowice.

The European Union funded over 60% of the project’s costs and Warsaw funded the remaining amount.
