With this technical assistance grant, WBIF provided support and assistance to the Project Implementation Unit (PIU), which has been established within the Public Utility Company “Vodovod i Kanalizacija”, during the preparation and implementation of investment concerning the construction of the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Skopje.
The plant will service nine of the ten municipalities of the city of Skopje with a capacity of 625,000 population equivalent. As Skopje’s wastewater is currently discharged into the Vardar River without treatment, a transboundary watercourse that flows into Greece, this investment is expected to bring significant environmental and public health benefits.
