A presentation of the “Clean Serbia” project was held in Kladovo, which was attended by representatives of the local self-government and the CRBC company. Through the “Clean Serbia” project, this municipality will receive 40.6 km of sewage network and even two wastewater treatment plants.
As stated at the presentation in Kladovo, works on six locations in this municipality within the “Clean Serbia” project are coming to an end.
“The work on the missing sewage network is progressing. There are still two kilometers left to be completely completed, and we also have two wastewater treatment plants in Podvrška and Kostol. The plant in Kostol, with a capacity for 15,000 inhabitants, meets the needs of Kladovo and parts of Kostol,” said Marija Jocić, leading engineer of the waste water treatment plant design of the “Clean Serbia” project.
During the presentation, the importance of the construction of the mentioned facilities in order to preserve the environment, but also the fact that Serbia should be aligned with the EU directive on its way to Europe, was emphasized on several occasions.
“Kladovo flows onto the Danube River, which is protected by the Danube Convention, and we have to comply with the capacity and parameters of the water before we discharge it into the receiver, which in this case is the river.” For the local population, this is an important step, it will improve the quality of life. Until now, all sewage in this part has been discharged directly into the river, and with the construction of the plant, it will be treated to a level that does not endanger the environment or the health of people in this region,” Jocić pointed out.
