Environmental projects carried out in 2004–2013 were mainly aimed to improve the water and sewage management, as well as waste management. In this period, there was built and modernized almost 36,000 km of sewer system, 12,000 km of water supply system, as well as built, expanded or modernized 683 municipal sewage treatment plants, which increased by about 63 number of cities supported by these installations. Funds granted Poland within the program as the EU’s contribution in amount of 27,413.75 million euro, including for environmental measure in amount of 3,508.17 million euro, and then their use by self-government units can provide the quality of environmental management in these municipalities.
