Polish towns launch major heating, water and wastewater upgrades with EU funds

In Tarnobrzeg, the ECO group will modernise the municipal heating network, replacing over 3.36 km of old pipes with insulated lines, removing eight group heating nodes and installing 47 new individual units. The project, costing about 19.9 million zł, is funded with more than 12.8 million zł from the European Regional Development Fund and is slated for completion in 2027.

In the village of Nasielsk, a rural water‑and‑sewage expansion added more than 3 km of new water mains, 71 household wastewater treatment units and three treatment plants for schools and a kindergarten. The works cost 3.76 million zł, the majority of which was covered by EU funds.

The gmina of Sońsk began renovating the Łopacin retention basin in June 2026, using a 105 000 zł grant. The refurbishment strengthens banks, removes sediment and will create a recreational area, enhancing local flood protection and climate resilience.

Łask’s wastewater plant was overhauled between 2017 and 2021, converting sludge into biogas. The €67.5 million project was financed with 34.7 million zł EU cohesion funding, an 18.7 million zł loan from the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management, and municipal resources. The upgraded facility now processes 8 000 m³ of sewage per day and generates renewable energy.
