Tomislav Tomašević, the Mayor of Zagreb, has announced Project Zagreb, a transformative plan to revamp the city’s water supply and sewage systems. With a budget of 323 million euros, this initiative is not only the most extensive urban development in Zagreb’s history but also the largest urban project financed by the European Union. The project, spearheaded by the city-owned Water Supply and Drainage company (ViO), was officially submitted in response to the Ministry of Economy’s call for EU co-financing.
Project Zagreb aims to address the city’s outdated water infrastructure, some of which dates back to 1878, by expanding the water supply and drainage network, constructing a new wastewater treatment plant, and mitigating water losses and pipe breakages.
