Implementation of Investment Activities in 2023
The economic and financial situation, along with changing regulatory and legal requirements, influenced the investment plans implemented by the Company in 2023. Several investments scheduled for execution in 2023 had to be postponed. This was driven by the Company’s difficult economic situation, resulting from the lack of a decision to introduce new tariff rates for water and sewage, which would have provided the financial resources necessary to cover investment costs. Furthermore, the securing of co-financing for road investments by ZIM Słupsk (Municipal Infrastructure Management), alongside unforeseen emergencies, necessitated the implementation of investments not originally included in the investment plans.
Despite the difficulties encountered, the Company continued the execution of ongoing and new investments, as well as maintenance works on the water and sewage network and the Company’s facilities. These activities aimed to connect new customers to the network and to ensure the required level of water supply and wastewater discharge services for our clients.
In 2023, the undertakings implemented by the Company focused in particular on investments consisting of: the expansion and reconstruction of the wastewater treatment plant, the construction and reconstruction of the sanitary sewage network, the construction and reconstruction of water supply networks, and the construction and reconstruction of energy infrastructure.
Within the territory of the City of Słupsk, the following investment tasks, among others, were completed in 2023:
