At present, the municipality of Erzincan has no water treatment plant. The storage tanks used to distribute water are about 30 years old and polluted water is discharged into the nearby Karasu river.
Grontmij has been assigned to oversee the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive and compliance with EU Urban Wastewater Directive, to reduce water losses and the pollution of the nearby river. Grontmij will also train municipal staff,  to modernize its Water Utility Department.

Kerem Sadiklar, Country Managing Director of Grontmij Turkey: ‘I am very pleased that Grontmij has been appointed as the consultant in such a challenging project. Through this project, Grontmij will strengthen its presence in Eastern Turkey and it will become a powerful local player in the Turkish market. The project will also support Grontmij’s strong position in the Turkish environmental sector.’
