New wastewater treatment facility set for Montenegro

A new €14 million (£12.3 million) wastewater treatment facility is set to be built in Montenegro.

Aqualia - a subsidiary of Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas, which is one of the largest water firms in the world - has won the contract to set up the new plant.

The development will take place in the country's second largest city Niksic and will have the capacity to treat 15.5 million litres of water every day.

Financed by the European Investment Bank, the project is anticipated to serve 100,000 people in the small country - making it the largest wastewater facility of its kind in the nation.

Aqualia has outlined the Balkans as a lucrative area due to its sizeable development potential.

Last month, Balkans.com reported that a €23.6 million central wastewater plant would be built in neighbouring Serbia, with 150,000 locals in the Vrbas and Kula areas expected to benefit from the construction within the next 18 months.
