Sanitation in Central and Eastern Europe
Lack of sanitation in small settlements • 30% of population lives in settlements with less than 2000
inhabitants (= 42 million people)
• 9% of these are so far connected to waste water plants
• Pollution of surface and groundwater → drinking water → water related diseases
• Lack of awareness, knowledge and application of proper management and operational practices
According to EU Urban Wastewater Directive, WWTP for settlements < 2000 PE are not obligatory
• BUT countries are obliged to meet the goals of Water Framework Directive – to achieve good status of waters
