24. Alocation 400 mil. EUR  water treatment (water treatment plants, watter supply)  waste water (145 agglomerations and more, WWTP)

25. Receiver – corporate entity, physical entity, which are provided by the state budget funds and the Cohesion Fund to co-finance the project in order to: - Municipalities, associations of municipalities, corporate entity, physical entity licensed to do business

26.  In recent years, Slovakia was considerable progress in the collection and treatment of urban waste water. Attention is currently is focused mainly on the construction of new wastewater treatment plants and sewerage networks, including the reconstruction of WWTP and sewerage networks.  SR ensured, especially increased protection and improvement of the waters, aquatic ecosystems, progressive solution of ecological and water management needs protection and human health due to the development of municipal infrastructure (increase in the number of inhabitants living in houses connected to public sewerage), which has a positive impact on regional development the whole society while maximizing positive environmental impacts on the environment.

27. To fulfill the commitments of the Slovak Republic still needs about 700 million E, of which 400 million E allocated in the OPQE and after their expendition will be resolved additional financial resources from public and possibly private sources.
