This service area includes seven towns and 278 villages, covering approximately 30% of Kosovo.
The scope of work involves identifying clusters and project measures, along with developing a conceptual design and conducting hydraulic analysis and identification of investment.
Furthermore, a Feasibility Study was conducted specifically for the central part of Reginal Water Company Prishtina, serving a population of about 390,000. This study encompasses four towns and 27 villages. The preparatory phase involves activities such as flushing and CCTV inspection of 20 km of sewer lines, flow measurement, composite sampling, topographical survey (including drone survey), and conducting a manhole survey (around 500 manholes).
During the planning phase, a preliminary design will be developed, and a hydraulic analysis of the sewer network and stormwater systems will be conducted. Other assessments to be undertaken include flood risk assessment, climate risk assessment, cost estimation, financial and economic analysis, institutional analysis, target group analysis, peace and conflict assessment, and the application of a Green City approach.
The project also includes the preparation of an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and a stakeholder engagement plan. Additionally, an E&S Commitment Plan will be developed. The sewer network is set up in a Geographic Information System (GIS), and the necessary documentation for the permission process in Kosovo will be prepared. An implementation schedule will also be developed.
The design phase involves the design of nine wastewater treatment plants (ranging from 44,500 to 430,000 population equivalents) to comply with EU Directive 91/271/EEC and DWA-A 131E – June 2016. It also includes the design of four sewer pumping stations with detention basins, sewer trunk mains (430 km) and sewerage networks (390 km) of various diameters, pumping mains (12 km), river crossings (3), railway and highway/regional road crossings (13), and overflow chambers (33). Additionally, a zero-emission administration building covering approximately 60,000 m2 is designed.
