Start date: Mar 11, 2012, End date: Feb 27, 2014 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Project applicant – Emajõe Veevärk is one of the largest water and wastewater service providers in the region. Project also includes 6 municipalities. 2 of them (Tartu and Palamuse) participate under Emajõe Veevärk. Lohusuu, Mustvee, Kasepää and Pskov as project Partners. Emajõe Veevärk operates in Ida-Viru, Jõgeva, and Tartu County. Tartu municipality situates in Tartu county, Palamuse, Mustvee and Kasepää are in Jõgeva County, Lohusuu is in Ida-Viru county and Town Pskov is in Russia in Pskov region The overall aim of this project is to reduce pollution, since all these settlements are situating by the different lakes; all of these lakes are in the area of lake Peipsi water basin. And some settlements are situating on the Natura 2000 sites and some of them are situating by the Natura 2000 site Investments will be made under this project to the renovation of Mustvee and Pskov wastewater treatment plants, as well as construction of new water and wastewater pipelines in Palamuse and water treatment facilities in Kasepää. Additionally there are made feasibility studies, environmental impact assessments, water and wastewater designs for Tartu, Lohusuu, Mustvee and Kasepää municipalities. Important part is also trainings for the staff of Emajõe Veevärk and Pskov’s water and other project partners.
