The goal of the project is to ensure reliable, uninterrupted, and high-quality water supply and sanitation in the village of Ratne by reconstructing and modernizing existing systems, reducing water losses, increasing energy efficiency, and improving environmental safety, which will contribute to improving the quality of life of the population and sustainable development of the community.

The implementation of the project is aimed at solving a complex of interrelated problems in the water supply and drainage of the village of Ratne, which have become critical today. The key problem is significant physical and moral wear and tear of engineering networks and equipment, which leads to frequent accidents, water leaks and service interruptions. The urgency of this problem is due to the long-term operation of networks beyond the regulatory period and the lack of system modernization for many years. If it is not resolved, a further increase in the accident rate, increased water losses, deterioration of the quality of water supply and increased costs for emergency repairs is possible. The second significant problem is the inconsistency of existing capacities and technologies with modern sanitary, environmental and energy-efficient requirements. Outdated pumping and treatment equipment operates with a high level of energy consumption and does not provide the proper quality of wastewater treatment. In the absence of reconstruction, this creates risks of soil and water pollution, deterioration of the environmental situation and possible violations of environmental legislation. Also relevant is the problem of incomplete coverage of the population by centralized water supply and sewage services. Some residents are forced to use individual water sources and local sewage systems, which do not always meet sanitary standards. If left unresolved, this may lead to a deterioration in the quality of drinking water, increased risks to public health, and social tension in the community. A separate problem is high operating costs and limited opportunities for effective system management due to the lack of modern accounting, automation, and monitoring tools. This complicates the prompt response to accidents and does not allow optimizing the costs of the water supply and sewage enterprise. Further delays in updating the system may lead to financial instability of the utility and a decrease in the quality of services. As a result of the project, a significant increase in the reliability and continuity of water supply and sewage, a decrease in the accident rate and water losses, and an improvement in the quality of drinking water and the level of wastewater treatment are expected. The project will increase energy efficiency, reduce operating costs, expand the coverage of the population with centralized services, and improve the ecological condition of the territory. In the long term, this will contribute to improving the quality of life of residents, sustainable development of the community, and the creation of a reliable engineering foundation for the further socio-economic development of the village of Ratne.
