Offenes Programm zu Rehabilitierung von Infrastruktur - Batumi (Phase IV) Accomp. Measure Open Programme Rehabilitation of Infrastructure - Batumi (Phase IV) Das Programm zur Rehabilitierung kommunaler Infrastruktur umfasst die Rehabilitierung und den teilweisen Neubau der Wasserversorgungs- und Abwasserentsorgungseinrichtungen in der Stadt Batumi an der Küste des Schwarzen Meeres in Georgien. Es besteht aus vier aufeinander aufbauenden Programmphasen sowie einer ergänzenden Projektkomponente zur verbesserten Regenwasserbewirtschaftung. Der Designhorizont sieht vor, dass bis zu 208.000 Einwohner kontinuierlich und bedarfsgerecht mit hygienisch unbedenklichem Trinkwasser versorgt werden. Gleichzeitig wird das Abwasser durch die Sanierung und Erweiterung der Kanalisation sowie durch den Betrieb einer Abwasserreinigungsanlage fachgerecht abgeleitet und gereinigtDas 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).Die ersten beiden Phasen des Programms sind bereits abgeschlossen. Während der Design- und Ausschreibungsphase der in Durchführung befindlichen dritten Programmphase wurde ins-besondere durch die zwischenzeitliche Erweiterung des Verwaltungsgebietes der Stadt weiterer Rehabilitierungsbedarf identifiziert. Auf Wunsch der georgischen Seite sind daher im Rahmen einer vierten Programmphase die umfassende Sanierung und der Neubau von Wasserver- und insbesondere Abwasserentsorgungssystemen für weitere Versorgungszonen in den äußeren Wohnbezirken und der Anschluss weiterer Bewohner von den mittlerweile in die Stadt Batumi eingemeindeten Dörfern Chakvi, Greencape und Makhinjauri vorgesehen. Die ebenfalls eingemeindeten Dörfer Gonio, Akhalisopeli und Kvariati sollen im Rahmen der vierten Programmphase an eine geordnete Wasserversorgung angeschlossen werden.Das bisherige Finanzierungsvolumen der Programmphasen I-III beläuft sich auf rund 108 Mio. EUR. Für die vierte Programmphase und zur Erreichung eines ca. 80-prozentigen An-schlussgrades der Bevölkerung innerhalb der neuen Stadtgrenzen an die Trinkwasserversorgung - sowie einer hygienisch unbedenklichen Abwasserableitung und -reinigung in der bereits errichteten Kläranlage - wird der Investitionsbedarf einschließlich Consultingleistungen auf 30 Mio. EUR geschätzt. Dieser wird durch ein zinsverbilligtes EZ-Darlehen gedeckt. Darüber hinaus ist eine bedarfsgerechte, unterstützende Begleitmaßnahme (BM) in Höhe von 2 Mio. EUR zur institutionellen Stärkung und personellen Unterstützung vorgesehen. The Municipal Infrastructure Rehabilitation Program comprises the rehabilitation and partial new construction of water supply and wastewater disposal facilities in the city of Batumi on the Black Sea coast in Georgia. It consists of four sequential program phases and a complementary project component for improved stormwater management. The design horizon provides for the continuous supply of hygienically safe drinking water to up to 208,000 residents on an as-needed basis. At the same time, wastewater will be properly discharged and treated through the rehabilitation and expansion of the sewer system and the operation of a wastewater treatment plantThe FC module objective of the measures to improve the water supply and sewage disposal systems is to ensure a continuous and demand-oriented as well as microeconomically efficient supply of the population with hygienically safe drinking water, to ensure environmentally sound and hygienically safe disposal and treatment of the sewage for the urban population of Batumi and the inhabitants of the neighboring coastal resorts. 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).The first two phases of the program have already been completed. During the design and tendering phase of the third program phase, which is currently being implemented, further rehabilitation needs were identified, in particular due to the expansion of the city's administrative territory in the meantime. At the request of the Georgian side, the comprehensive rehabilitation and new construction of water supply and, in particular, wastewater disposal systems for further supply zones in the outer residential districts and the connection of further residents from the villages of Chakvi, Greencape and Makhinjauri, which have now been incorporated into the city of Batumi, are therefore planned as part of a fourth program phase. The villages of Gonio, Akhalisopeli and Kvariati, which have also been incorporated, are to be connected to a regulated water supply system as part of the fourth program phase.The financing volume of program phases I-III to date amounts to around EUR 108 million. For the fourth program phase and in order to achieve an approx. 80 percent connection rate of the population within the new city limits to the drinking water supply - as well as a hygienically safe wastewater discharge and treatment in the already constructed wastewater treatment plant - the investment requirement including consulting services is estimated at EUR 30 million. This will be covered by an interest-subsidized DC loan. In addition, a needs-based supporting complementary measure (BM) in the amount of EUR 2 million is planned for institutional strengthening and personnel support.
