Čistá Berounka – 2nd phase

The aim of the Čistá Berounka - Phase II project was to ensure proper sewage and wastewater treatment and drinking water supply in accordance with the requirements of EU directives and Czech legislation in all member municipalities of the Voluntary Union of Municipalities of the Berounka River Basin.

Within the framework of this project, several municipalities of the Pilsen Region joined together to strengthen the possibility of obtaining financial subsidies from the EC. In March 2005, the constituent meeting of this voluntary association of municipalities took place and it was registered at the Regional Office of the Pilsen Region on 1 April 2005.

The object of the DSO Berounka Basin was the preparation and implementation of the group project Čistá Berounka - stage II. The Union of Municipalities was the applicant for funding from the European Union and the state budget, the recipient of this support and the investor and contracting authority for the public procurement of the contractor and other related contracts.

The Čistá Berounka - Phase II project was divided into four constructions according to location and water supply and sewerage system operator.
