Kommunale Infrastruktur Batumi III Municipal Infrastructure Batumi III Das Programm kommunale Infrastruktur umfasst die Rehabilitierung und den teilweisen Neubau der Wasserversorgungs- und Abwasserentsorgungseinrichtungen der Stadt Batumi in drei aufeinander aufbauenden Programmphasen. Insgesamt sollen rund 208.000 Einwohner kontinuierlich und bedarfsgerecht mit hygienisch unbedenklichem Trinkwasser versorgt werden. Das Abwasser soll durch die Sanierung und Erweiterung der Kanalisation sowie durch den Neubau einer Abwasserreinigungsanlage fachgerecht abgeleitet und gereinigt werden. Das FZ-Modulziel der Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung der Wasserver- und Abwasserentsorgungssysteme ist die kontinuierliche und bedarfsgerechte sowie einzelwirtschaftlich effiziente Versorgung der Bevölkerung mit hygienisch einwandfreiem Trinkwasser, die Sicherstellung einer umweltgerechten und hygienisch unbedenklichen Entsorgung und Reinigung des Abwassers für die Stadtbevölkerung von Batumi und die Einwohner der benachbarten Küstenorte. Damit wird ein Beitrag zur nachhaltigen und umweltgerechten Kommunalentwicklung sowie zur Verbesserung der Siedlungshygiene und der Lebensbedingungen der Bevölkerung der Stadt Batumi geleistet. Zielgruppe sind die Einwohner der Stadt Batumi, ursprünglich in der alten Verwaltungs-grenze, die aber während der Projektumsetzung um die Chakvi Dörfer und die südlichen Dörfer erweitert wurde. Projektträger ist die Stadtverwaltung von Batumi. Der Betrieb der Anlagen er-folgt durch das städtische Versorgungsunternehmen Batumi Tskali (BTS).Von den drei aufeinander aufbauenden Programmphasen sind zwei Phasen bereits abgeschlossen. Die dritte Phase umfasst neben den vorgesehenen Maßnahmen zur Rehabilitierung der Wasserversorgung der außenliegenden Stadtteile auch den Anschluss von drei entlang der Chakvi Hauptwasserzuleitung gelegenen Dörfern (Chakvi, Greencape, Makinjauri) an die Trinkwasserversorgung. Im Bereich der Abwasserentsorgung werden weitere Versorgungszonen der Stadt umfassend saniert und eine Erweiterung der Kapazität der Kläranlage für die hinzukommenden Versorgungszonen sowie die Entsorgung der umliegenden Dörfer vorgesehen. Die Finanzierung umfasst eine Zinsverbilligungsdarlehen (EUR 20 Mio.), einen FZ Zuschuss (EUR 9 Mio.) sowie eine FZ Mittelzweitverwendung (EUR 6,7 Mio.) sowie einen lokalen Eigenbeitrag (ca. EUR 7 Mio.). Das Programm wird durch zwei EU NIF Finanzierungen für ein Wasserzählerprogramm (4,5 Mio. EUR) und die Wasserversorgung der Chakvi Dörfer (EUR 4 Mio.) sowie eine FZ finanzierte Regenwasserkomponente (EUR 14 Mio.) ergänzt. The municipal infrastructure program comprises the rehabilitation and partial new construction of the water supply and wastewater disposal facilities of the city of Batumi in three successive program phases. A total of around 208,000 inhabitants are to be continuously supplied with hygienically safe drinking water in line with demand. Wastewater is to be properly discharged and treated by rehabilitating and expanding the sewerage system and by building a new wastewater treatment plant. The FC module objective of the measures to improve the water supply and wastewater disposal systems is to ensure a continuous and demand-oriented as well as microeconomically efficient supply of the population with hygienically safe drinking water, and to ensure environmentally sound and hygienically safe disposal and treatment of wastewater for the urban population of Batumi and the inhabitants of the neighboring coastal towns. Thus, a contribution is made to sustainable and environmentally sound municipal development as well as to the improvement of sanitation and living conditions of the population of the city of Batumi. The target group are the inhabitants of the city of Batumi, originally in the old administrative boundary, but extended during the project implementation to include the Chakvi villages and the southern villages. The project executing agency is the Municipality of Batumi. The operation of the plants is carried out by the municipal utility Batumi Tskali (BTS).Of the three successive program phases, two have already been completed. The third phase includes, in addition to the planned measures for the rehabilitation of the water supply of the outlying districts, the connection of three villages located along the Chakvi main water supply line (Chakvi, Greencape, Makinjauri) to the drinking water supply. In the area of wastewater disposal, extensive rehabilitation of additional service zones in the city will be undertaken and an expansion of the capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is planned for the added service zones as well as for the disposal of the surrounding villages. The financing comprises an interest subsidy loan (EUR 20 million), an FC grant (EUR 9 million) and an FC reallocation of funds (EUR 6.7 million) as well as a local counterpart contribution (approx. EUR 7 million). The program is complemented by two EU NIF financings for a water metering program (EUR 4.5 million) and water supply to Chakvi villages (EUR 4 million) as well as an FC financed stormwater component (EUR 14 million).
