Developed Infrastructure and Healthy Environment – Entire Sewage System Developed in Hatvan and its Surrounding Region21 December 2009
The EU-funded project aimed at fully constructing the sewage system in Hatvan and its surrounding region has reached its final phase.
The sewage system is being fully developed in the settlements of Apc, Ecséd and Szűcsi, as well as parts of Hatvan where no such network existed earlier within the framework of the third phase of this project. Once this development is implemented, it will be possible to connect more than 4,600 households to the new network creating a modern and healthier environment.
Even the first phase of this project brought about spectacular development in the town of Hatvan. A regional sewage treatment plant was established and a part of the sewage network in Hatvan was constructed as an outcome of the EU-funded project phase costing nearly 4 billion HUF to complete. Concurrently to this, more than 2 billion HUF was still available for constructing further sections of this network and developing the entire sewage network in Lőrinci.
The development of the municipal sewage network continued and the construction of the entire sewage network in the settlement of Zagyvaszántó was also completed in the second phase of this project. These developments were implemented from targeted funding amounting to a total of 848 million HUF.
The third and final phase of this development is expected to continue up to July 2011. Once this project financed within the framework of the New Hungary Development Plan is completed, the targets set by the agglomeration will also be attained, namely: the level of pollution of subsurface waters in Hatvan and its surrounding region will significantly decrease and the living and economic conditions of residents will effectively improve as well.
The European Union has contributed funding amounting to approximately 3 billion HUF towards the implementation of this project costing a total of 3.692 billion HUF to complete.
