Beryslav has initiated a project to reconstruct its wastewater treatment plant, which has been out of service for more than 20 years after the accident. The new facilities should ensure wastewater treatment and reduce pollution of the Dnipro River.
This is evidenced by the DREAM ecosystem data.
In the city of Beryslav, Kherson region, a large-scale project has been launched to reconstruct wastewater treatment facilities that provide treatment of domestic wastewater.
According to the project description, the existing system, built in 1972-1974, has been out of operation for more than 20 years after the 2003 accident, and its buildings and structures have been recognized as unfit for use and emergency. Because of this, the city and the district need modern water treatment equipment to prevent pollution of the Dnipro River and underground aquifers.
The project involves the construction of four autonomous biological water treatment units with a capacity of 200 m³ per day each, with a total capacity of 800 m³ per day. The facilities will use modern equipment: energy-efficient blowers, submersible fecal pumps and an automated control system. The treated water will be discharged to the site drainage system, with the possibility of reuse for watering green spaces and technical needs.
The total budget of the reconstruction is about UAH 81.3 million, of which 63.9 million is allocated for capital expenditures and 17.4 million for operating expenses. The main spending unit is the Kherson Regional State Administration, the contractor is the Beryslav Water Utility, and the project was initiated by the Beryslav City Council.
In addition, the Velyko Oleksandrivska community in Kherson Oblast plans to install a modular water treatment system that will provide safe drinking water for more than 11,000 residents. The project is being implemented jointly with the Swedish company Wayout and will be a pilot initiative as part of the region's recovery program.
