18 December 2012: The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is supporting the modernization of municipal infrastructure in Šibenik, Croatia.

EBRD is providing a €10 million loan to “Vodovod i odvodnja d.o.o.”, the municipal water and wastewater company operating in Šibenik and surrounding areas, to co-finance the upgrade of the town’s wastewater infrastructure. The investment will enable the municipal water operator to expand the coverage of its sewage service and bring the water supply system in line with EU and national standards. The latest methods in wastewater treatment will also enable controlled discharge of treated wastewater.

EBRD has previously supported the upgrade of water infrastructure in Zagreb, Karlovac and Sisak in Croatia. [EBRD Press Release]
