To meet the wastewater management requirements of the City of Mława
After 25 years of operation of the existing municipal wastewater treatment plant, Mława faced a new challenge: the need to build a new plant. This was due to the insufficient capacity of the treatment plant and the aspiration to comply with the highest environmental standards.
The construction of a new wastewater treatment plant exceeded the financial capabilities of the City's budget, and accordingly the Mayor of Mława proposed a public-private partnership.
Requirements of the City:
- Rapid modernisation of wastewater treatment plants,
- Increase in the number of connections to the network of residents,
- Maintenance of tariffs at acceptable levels.
In July 2016, SUEZ signed a contract for the design, construction and operation of a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant with the provision of financing.
Contractual parameters:
- Construction of a new wastewater treatment plant
