€69 million of EU funds for upgraded water management networks in Slovenia

Almost €69 million from the Cohesion Fund is invested in new facilities to collect and treat waste water in Ljubljana and the cities of Medvode and Vodice in Slovenia. 310 000 citizens living in the area will benefit from a modern and extended waste water treatment system. This EU co-financed project will also contribute to protecting the groundwater and reducing pollution in the region. Commissioner for Regional Policy Corina Crețu said: "Protecting the environment and improving the citizens' everyday life: this project is a great example of Cohesion Policy in action." The project includes the construction of 131 km of sewage networks.More information on the European Structural and Investment Funds in Slovenia is available here and on the Open Data Platform.
