In the village of Mizhenets, in the Sambir district, the construction of a sewage treatment plant, which lasted more than 3 years, has been completed. The main goal of the project is to ensure that wastewater is treated to a level that meets the maximum permissible standards.

An intake and distribution chamber, a full biological wastewater treatment plant with a capacity of 45 m3/day, contact tanks and a pumping station were built on the territory of the treatment plant, and the sludge pits and administrative and production building were reconstructed.

Thanks to this project, 150 residential buildings with more than 350 residents received high-quality sewage disposal. This also applies to three municipal institutions that have been connected to the new sewage treatment plant: a school, a kindergarten, and a hospice.

“It is difficult to decide to start any kind of construction, because it requires significant financial resources and time. But if you have a clear goal, as the Dobromyl community did, the result will be 100% justified. From now on, more than 350 residents of the community will have high-quality sewage disposal, as well as the local school and kindergarten. On the part of the UWA, at the expense of the regional budget, we are ready to join similar useful ideas. You are an example, because it is difficult to name another hromada where sewage treatment plants in two settlements have been restored in 5 years,” said Khrystyna Zamula, Deputy Head of the Lviv Regional State Administration.

The total estimated cost of the project is UAH 10.7 million. The construction work was carried out at the expense of the regional environmental protection fund and co-financing from the local budget as part of the cooperation between the Lviv Regional Water Authority and the Dobromyl community.

This project is of particular importance for the Vyrva River, which is a tributary of the cross-border Xiang River, as it has now stopped discharging untreated wastewater into it.
