The water supply of the city of Chernivtsi is carried out from two sources, namely: surface water intake on the Dniester River (85%) - the Dniester-Chernivtsi water pipeline and a system of underground water intakes equipped in the Prut River basin (15%) - the Rogizna water intake in a complex with the Lenkivtsi-1 and Ocheret water intakes, the Bila water intake, the Magala water intake. The municipal enterprise Chernivtsi Vodokanal has 9 water supply stations and 1 water treatment plant, the installed production capacity of which is 90 tons of cubic meters per day. The water supply and distribution system consists of 425 km of water pipes, including 131.0 km of large-diameter water pipes. The diameter of the water supply networks operated by the enterprise ranges from 80 mm to 1400 mm. In recent years, there has been an increase in water losses and a decrease in the volume of its sale. This is due, on the one hand, to the practical absence of industrial water consumers and increased costs for maintaining facilities, technological processes for preparing water and supplying it to consumers, in particular, payments for used electricity, purchase of reagents, materials, etc. On the other hand, to the aging of facilities, equipment and, especially, pipelines and increased unaccounted water costs. One of the most costly sections of the Chernivtsi Water Supply Company is currently the Dniester-Chernivtsi water pipeline, which is the main source of water supply in Chernivtsi and provides more than 85% of the city's daily water needs. Preservation of the existing technological regulations for the operation of the water pipeline equipment for preparing drinking water and ensuring round-the-clock water supply in Chernivtsi requires constant operation of currently outdated equipment, which was installed taking into account the provision of water to the city's industry in sufficient quantities for its work, namely with the prospect of increasing the water supply to the city to 200,000 cubic meters per day. Now, when water needs have almost halved, and the installed equipment has not changed, problems have begun to arise related to filling large-diameter pipes and transporting excess water. The selection of pumping equipment carried out in the 1980s does not correspond to the hydraulic calculation (the working pressure in the network after the pumping equipment is 132-134 m above sea level, and the installed equipment is designed for 180-197 m above sea level). Therefore, for the KP "Chernivtsi Vodokanal" the issues of reducing electricity consumption and reducing water losses and costs remain relevant, the solution of which is possible thanks to the use of new, more advanced methods of water preparation, purification and transportation. Sewage treatment plants (STPs) in Chernivtsi were built in the 1970s, and currently have significant wear and tear of the main technological equipment. To ensure high-quality wastewater treatment, prevent pollution of the transboundary Prut River with raw sediment, ensure environmental safety and improve the quality of life of over 50 thousand people near the central water supply system, and ensure the reliability and quality of centralized water supply services for over 250 thousand residents of Chernivtsi, reconstruction is necessary.

Significant deterioration of water supply networks in the city of Chernivtsi: the implementation of the project will allow to increase the reliability and quality of centralized water supply services for over 250 thousand residents of Chernivtsi; - reduce emergency repair costs by updating equipment and reducing the use of consumables; - reduce energy consumption and water losses and expenses; - improve water quality; - improve the budgetary and functional capabilities of the Chernivtsi Water Supply and Sewage Enterprise. Outdated treatment facilities: reconstruction of treatment facilities will allow to ensure high-quality wastewater treatment, prevent pollution of the transboundary Prut River with raw sediment, ensure environmental safety and improve the quality of life of over 50 thousand people near the water supply and sewerage system.
