Completion of the construction project will cost around EUR 190 million altogether. Most of this money will be provided by loans from international banks. Over a quarter of all the funds have been donated. The EU will finance the construction of a sewage incinerator. The financial contribution of the Saint Petersburg company Vodokanal will come to less than 10%.
Once construction is complete the sewage system will serve 700 thousand city residents which will reduce the current level of waste spilled into the Gulf of Finland by about a third.
