The EU is supporting rehabilitation of vital infrastructure in Georgia. This project ensures rehabilitation of water supply and sewage system for Batumi and three neighbouring settlements (Chakvi, Mtsvane Kontskhi/Greencape and Makhinjauri) served by the same transmission main line.

The project modernizes existing water supply infrastructure and provides a decentralised system for the environmentally friendly discharge of wastewater. To achieve this, devices are installed to manage uncontrolled extraction of water from the main Batumi transmission line and the provision of services from the local water utility “Batumi Tskali”.

In addition, sewage systems are decentralised in Chakvi to ensure environmentally sound disposal of wastewater in order to reduce health risks for the population. It also reduces pollution load to the Black Sea.

The project is part of a larger initiative that provides Batumi and surrounding villages with a continuous, demand-oriented supply of hygienically sound drinking water as well as with an ecologically and hygienically sound and sustainable disposal and treatment of the wastewater.
