Interreg NEXT PL-UA 2021-2027

Reliable water supply and efficient wastewater management are essential for a good quality of life, as well as for protecting the environment. However, ageing infrastructure, frequent network failures and inefficient water and wastewater infrastructure pose risks to service quality and the environment. In cross-border areas, it is also important to develop modern and effective solutions for water resource management.

The HydroCare project will bring together Jastków Commune (PL) and Varash City (UA) to improve water supply and wastewater infrastructure, and share knowledge and practical experience. As part of the project, 2,457 m of sewerage network and two wastewater pumping stations will be constructed in Tomaszowice-Kolonia. In Varash, wastewater pumping stations will be modernised, including the replacement of 13 outdated pumping units and control cabinets with modern, energy-efficient equipment. In addition, 490 m of the water supply network in the Budivelnykiv district will be reconstructed, helping to reduce failures and water losses.

Cross-border knowledge exchange will also play an important role in the project. The partners plan to organise a kick-off conference and a final conference, as well as a study visit to Jastków.

As a result of the HydroCare project, residents of both communities will benefit from more reliable water supply and wastewater management systems, improving their quality of life and helping to protect the environment, particularly the Styr and Solokiya rivers.
