Kommunale Wasserinfrastruktur Batumi (Folgephase V) Communal Water Infrastructure Batumi (subsequent phase V) Im Rahmen der FZ finanzierten Vorhaben (Kommunale Infrastruktur Georgien - Batumi Phasen I-IV) konnte in den vergangenen 15 Jahren die kommunale Wasserinfrastruktur Batumis in einem stufenweisen Prozess umfassend rehabilitiert und ausgebaut werden. In Folge des Wachstums der Einwohnerzahl sowie des Tourismus in Batumi reichen die Anlagen für Wasserversorgung- und Abwasserentsorgung jedoch nicht mehr aus. Ergänzende Investitionen im Rahmen der Projektphase V sollen auch die zukünftige Wasserver- und Abwasserentsorgung gewährleisten. Die Zielgruppe des Vorhabens sind die Einwohner (ca. 172.000) und die Besucher der Stadt Batumi. Ziel ist die Verbesserung der Wasserver- und Abwasserentsorgung für die Zielgruppe hinsichtlich Nachhaltigkeit, Umweltverträglichkeit, Zugang und Versorgungssicherheit.Im Rahmen des Vorhabens sollen Maßnahmen in den Bereichen Trinkwasseraufbereitung (z.B. Rehabilitierung der zentralen Wasseraufbereitungsanlage) sowie Trinkwasserverteilung, Abwassersammlung und Erweiterung der Kläranlage (zur Kapazitätserhöhung und Anpassung an neue EU konforme Reinigungsstandards) durchgeführt werden. Im Rahmen einer Begleitmaßnahme sollen die Kapazitäten des Trägers sowie des Betreibers für einen ordnungsgemäßen Betrieb der Systeme gestärkt werden. Die Gesamtkosten des Vorhabens (Phase V) werden auf rd. 80 Mio. EUR geschätzt. Davon werden 53 Mio. EUR als FZ-Darlehen sowie 2 Mio. EUR als Zuschuss für eine Begleitmaßnahme finanziert. Der georgische Eigenbeitrag beträgt bis zu 25 Mio. EUR. Within the FC-financed projects (Municipal Infrastructure Georgia - Batumi Phases I-IV), Batumi's municipal water infrastructure has been comprehensively rehabilitated and expanded in a step-by-step process over the past 15 years. However, as a result of the growth in the number of inhabitants and tourism in Batumi, the facilities for water supply and wastewater disposal are no longer sufficient. Supplementary investments under project phase V are also intended to ensure future water supply and wastewater disposal. The target group of the project are the inhabitants (approx. 172,000) and the visitors of the city of Batumi. The objective is to improve water supply and wastewater disposal for the target group in terms of sustainability, environmental compatibility, access and security of supply.Measures in the areas of drinking water treatment (e.g. rehabilitation of the central water treatment plant) as well as drinking water distribution, wastewater collection and expansion of the wastewater treatment plant (to increase capacity and adapt to new EU-compliant treatment standards) are to be implemented under the project. A accompanying measure will strengthen the capacity of the executing agency as well as the operator to operate the systems properly. The borrower is the Georgian State, represented by the Ministry of Finance, and the promoter is the City of Batumi.The total cost of the project (Phase V) is estimated at around EUR 80 million. Of this, EUR 53 million will be financed as an FC loan and EUR 2 million grant for an accompanying measure.. The Georgian counterpart contribution amounts to up to EUR 25 million.
