Abstract: Albeit more than 98% of Bulgarians have entry to running water, the same achievement can't be said for the national sewage system, with just 3.2% of towns associated with a sewage facilities. Joining the EU in 2007 implied stricter guidelines and regulations were forced on Bulgaria. Assets are needed to be selected for the foundation, change, extension and substitution of its sewer, water supply and water/wastewater treatment systems. While the water sector is fundamentally state-possessed, the Bulgaria government already permitted private support due to the enacted legislative changes. Positive forecasts suggest that apart from private investment, further EU funding will be available for drinking water projects in the coming years and numbers of measures for sustainable utilization of natural water sources will be undertaken.
