ARA Pustertal is a participant in the ICAWER research project.
The aim of the project is to make sewage treatment plants more energy efficient and to solve local problems. This is achieved through the cooperation of universities, sewage plant and energy consultants as well as several sewage associations in Austria and Italy.
This project is supported by the European Regional Development Fund and Interreg V-A Italy-Austria 2014-2020.
The main collector in St. Lorenzen, near the Senni dairy farm, will be repaired this year. The work was awarded by the ARA Pustertal AG in January after appropriate preliminary work, planning and tendering and will now start in March 2019.
ARA Pustertal AG operates the main collector in Prags from the measuring station in Prags, located in the municipality of Prags to the connection to the valley collector, which runs along the orographically left bank of the Rienz in the municipality of Niederdorf.
Every year, the management of ARA Pustertal AG prepares a detailed report on the past financial year.
Every day 32,153 cubic metres of wastewater are produced in Pustertal. We use clean water for showering, brushing our teeth, rinsing, washing laundry and every time we go to the toilet. Polluted it becomes waste water, which was simply disposed of into the rivers a relatively short time ago. The environment suffered. Today we have five sewage treatment plants in the valley that treat the dirty water and return it clean to the rivers.
