In the Lviv region, the construction of the sewage network in the city of Glynany, which began in 2014, is planned to be completed by the end of 2023.

Currently, the project is 95% completed, reports the Department of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Lviv Regional State Administration on Facebook.

It is noted that the project provides:

  • construction of a network with a length of 5 km;
  • arrangement of 5 sewage pumping stations;
  • installation of a wastewater treatment system with a capacity of 350 m3/day with the possibility of increasing the capacity to 1000 m3/day.

It was emphasized in the message that this will eliminate the pollution of the soil and rivers of Peregnoyvka and Poltva by untreated sewage entering the basin of the Western Bug.

It is noted that the construction of sewage networks and treatment facilities began in 2014. The total cost of the works is 41.6 million hryvnias. At the end of construction, 1.9 million hryvnias will be allocated from the regional environmental protection fund and 493 thousand hryvnias from the local budget.

"Thanks to the implementation of the environmental protection measure "Construction of sewage networks in the town of Glynany, Zolochiv district, Lviv region", more than 1,500 residents of the city will be connected to the sewage system, as well as a polyclinic, a shelter, a school, a kindergarten, a music school, which will significantly affect the improvement of the sanitary and ecological condition of the city and the rivers of the Western Bug basin," said the Acting Director. Oksana Viytyk, Director of the Department of Ecology and Natural Resources.
