Wastewater Management
FINAL DESIGN OF THE EXTERIOR SEWERAGE PIPELINES IN MUNICIPALITY OF VERIA AND REPLACEMENT OF THE EXTERIOR WATER SUPPLY NETWORK FOR THE MUNICIPAL DISTRICTS OF KATO VERMIO, ASOMATOI AND AGIA VARVARA IN MUNICIPALITY OF VERIA, IMATHIA PREFECTURE

Client: Municipal Water Wastewater Utility of Veria
Year: 2008
Budget: 3.586.000€ (sewage) & 2.142.000€ (water supply)

ISSUE
The purpose of the project was:

SOLUTION

The communities of Rachi, Agia Varvara, Ammos, Mesi, Georgianoi and Tripotamos, had rudimentary internal sewerage networks, the communities of Panorama and Lazochori had an integrated sewerage network, whereas the communities of Asomata and Komninos were served by septic tanks. The produced wastewater was discharged untreated in the broader region, resulting in the degradation of the natural environment and the quality of life for local residents.

Furthermore the existing water supply pipelines in the communities of Agia Varvara and Kato Vermio, were constructed primarily of steel, which is a material with a potential risk of disease outbreaks to the health of the community residents.

The table below shows the total peak population of all communities for each design phase.
