Construction of two wastewater treatment plants in Montana and in Kozloduy started on September 24 2007.

The installation in Kozloduy was build with funds made available by the Environment and Water Affairs Ministry (EWAM), while the fund for the plant in Montana were provided by the ISPA programme of the European Commission, investor.bg said.

The contract for the construction had been signed in June 2007 and the deadline for delivery of the plants was July 2009, investor.bg said.

The installation would collect and treat wastewater in accordance with national and European requirements.

The project would provide 140 temporary work places for the two years of the construction and some 30 permanent work places after the plants would be taken into production.
