EIB ASSISTS MILAN WATER QUALITY REFORMS

BY KEITH NUTHALL

MILAN, a focus of Italian football's match fixing dirty-tricks scandal, will at least be able to boast a clean water supply, thanks to a European Investment Bank (EIB) loan. The Milan provincial government will be lent up to Euro 70 million to upgrade and rehabilitate water treatment and collection facilities. The aim is to ensure water and wastewater quality henceforth meets European Union (EU) legal standards, with the EIB loan footing half the bill for a Euro 140 million project.
