The European Commission is to provide €69 million of EU funds for upgraded water management networks in Slovenia.

Almost €69 million from the Cohesion Fund is being invested in new facilities to collect and treat waste water in Ljubljana and the cities of Medvode and Vodice in Slovenia. Some 310 000 citizens living in the area will benefit from a modern and extended waste water treatment system.

The EU co-financed project will also contribute to protecting the groundwater and reducing pollution in the region.

The project includes the construction of 131 km of sewage networks. More information on the European Structural and Investment Funds in Slovenia is available on the Open Data Platform.
