Environment Minister Djevdet Chakurov and Nikolai Dimitrov, the mayor of the Black Sea town of Nessebur, signed on January 16 an agreement for the funding of the construction of a new wastewater treatment station in the town.

The funds will come from the European Union's operational programme Environment, as it has been considered a priority location for the "improvement and development of infrastructure for drinking water and waste management in urban areas with population exceeding 2000 inhabitants".

The costs of the project have been estimated at 2.1 million leva. The issue of environment has increasingly become a top concern for the Nessebur town hall and the wastewater treatment station is seen as a key installation which will maintain the sea water clean.

"This is vital for the local population from a business point of view as it will attract more tourists, but more importantly it will ensure a better and healthier life for the local population,"   Dimitrov said, as quoted by website stroitelstvo.bg.
