In the Municipality of Knić, construction has begun on two wastewater treatment plants. Before the first works within the “Clean Srtrbija” project, this municipality had only one kilometer of sewage network.

Extensive works on the construction of a waste water treatment plant in the Municipality of Knić have begun, and the President of the Municipality Srećko Ilić, in a statement for TV Prva, states that it is the largest investment ever.

“We have been working on the “Clean Serbia” project for more than two years, which is the biggest investment ever. It is a contract worth 102 billion dinars and we are somewhere in the final phase of the primary sewage network. We are taking advantage of the good weather and returning the streets and roads to their original condition. Work is now being carried out on the wastewater treatment system and at this moment such system is being built in Gruža, specifically in the village of Grabovac, a smaller plant is being built in Knić, and the final stage is the design of a large system for the settlement of Knić and the settlements of Toponica and Kusovac. The deadline for the completion of the works is the end of 2025. According to the current dynamics, I absolutely believe that the further dynamics will be respected and that we will already have the first connections at the end of next year, which to a large extent means the preservation of the environment and cleaner water. We are trying to respect the “Green Agenda” together with the state, and surely the 35 km of sewage network and 4 waste water treatment systems speak volumes about the direction we are going in,” Ilić said.

The large sewage system, as well as the aforementioned facilities, simultaneously protect the reservoir from pollution, from which drinking water is supplied to the city of Kragujevac, as well as the surrounding municipalities.
