The focus is on municipal communal facilities, local network systems, and technical measures for climate protection adaptation. With a project duration of up to 36 months, operating costs and planning services are supported as well as construction measures in accordance with the latest state-of-the-art technology. The funding rates range from 13% to 50% depending on the measure and are based on ecological compatibility, economic efficiency, and current funding catalogs of the state department for water management.

Particularly funded are investment costs for the construction and renewal of wastewater conveyance and treatment plants, operating costs of wastewater disposal, as well as planning and construction supervision services.
