Client: Municipality of Iasmos
Year: 2002
Budget: 4.740.000€

ISSUE

The purpose of the project Αποχέτευσηwas the preliminary design of the sewer pipeline network for the municipal district of Iasmos as well as the external sewer networks and pumping stations for transporting the collected wastewater to the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) of Iasmos, which was proposed to be situated 2km south of Iasmos.

SOLUTION
The community of Iasmos was 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.

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