Status of WWTP in Albania
Wastewater treatment in all parts of Albania has improved during the last 10
years.
The percentage of the population connected to wastewater treatment in Albania has increased over the last ten years. Latest
values of population connected to wastewater treatment in Albania is still relatively low compared to Eastern, Central and Northern Europe. 10 %Danube Water ConferenceSlide3

Overview of the WWTP of Korca City
Danube Water Conference
Advantages of the selected project:
Secondary Treatment of all discharges from agglomerations of > 2000
p.e. for a not sensitive area (WWTP of the City of Korca designed for 85.000 PE);
Easy
for management in terms of effluent quality and
operation;
Successfully
applied in high density population
areas
(Municipality Area);
Low cost of maintenance
Fully automatedSlide11
Where we are now?

What is left?
Abandonment of open wastewater discharge in the rural areas Construction of new small Waste Water Treatment Plants for the rural areas
Improvement of rainwater treatment (e.g. infiltration of rainwater as far as possible to close natural water cycle)
Implement Directive 91/271/EEC improving the sludge management and disposalDanube Water ConferenceSlide14
Conclusions:
Channeling the investments properlyRigid implementation standardsForecasted data standards
