This paper investigates the costs of waste water treatment within the Black Sea catchment
countries A, CZ, SK, HU, SL, RO, BG, UA and TK and discusses the affordability of the related costs. The
annual costs of waste water treatment in Black Sea catchment areas are in the maximum 30% lower than in
Austria. However the incomes in countries like Bulgaria, Romania or Ukraine are 85% to 90% lower. The
total annual costs for waste water management (sewer development plus treatment) amount at least to
90 /pe.y for large CNDP-plants. Waste water charges of 90 /y (CNDP) per inhabitant or more are not
affordable for many households. Financing waste water management completely by charges of the population
equivalents connected is not feasible in several countries investigated. Therefore other approaches for
financing waste water treatment are required.
