The project includes the construction of 47,166 meters of sewers, 21 pumping stations and upgrade the wastewater treatment plant Domžale - Kamnik. The project plans to connect an additional 6,586 population units (PU) to the discharge (newly built sewage infrastructure) and an additional 12,637 PE connection on (WWTP) cleaning.

The construction of the sewerage system in the municipality of Kamnik - The project involves the construction of a sewerage system in the total length of 28 kilometers, following the completion of the project will be possible to connect 3,077 new residents to the sewage system and the treatment plant.

In the area of Tunjice and Tunjiška Mlaka the majority of the sewage system is planned so that waste water is discharged by gravity, where this is not possible, have the system installed sewage pumping station. In this area are 3 wells.

In the area of ​​settlements Stranje, Godič and Bistričica has been carried out the planned construction of a sewerage network with connection to the existing reservoir. The area is very diverse and is limited by rivers, and it was in the system should be installed 5 pumping stations.

The longest and most demanding part of the project is the construction of a connecting faecal collector in Tuhinjska valley over a length of approximately 10.5 kilometers. After the construction of the connecting collector will be abolished overloaded and worn out wastewater treatment plant in Šmartno v Tuhinju. In the first part of the construction of the connecting channels from Kamnik to Šmartno v Tuhinju is planning a construction of two primary manifolds S (Vir pri Nevljah-Šmartno v Tuhinju) and collector TD (Nevlje-Vir pri Nevljah), which is connected to the existing sewerage system in the village of Nevlje in Kamnik. Most of the sewage system is designed so that the waste water is discharged by gravity. Where this is not possible, the system will be installed adequate sewage pumping station. In this area, it is estimated 5 wells.

The construction of sewerage network in the municipality of Komenda - The project is carried out construction of a separate discharge of rainwater and wastewater. The project is implemented in settlements Komenda, Moste Suhadole, Montenegro, Gmajnica, Podboršt, Puddle and thirst. All waste water, which act in the area, evacuated the newly designed channels to the already existing sewage collector in the municipality Mengeš. After completion of the project is expected to connect 2,995 additional PE.

Sewage area north of Mengeš and under Grobeljsko road - sewage network in the municipality Menges is part of a single system, which is also Mengeš sewer form has sewage in the municipality of Domžale, Komenda and Kamnik Trzin and terminating at a central wastewater treatment plant Domžale - Kamnik. The project is carried out in an area north of Menges - over discharge relief valve and the area under Grobeljsko road. Implementation of the planned works carried out from 2014 onwards, the work will be completed in 2016.

Upgrading the wastewater treatment plant Domžale - Kamnik comprises upgrading the existing wastewater treatment plant to tertiary biological treatment technology of sequential batch reactor and the construction of the input object to the adoption of the cesspool sludge, which will increase the operational safety, a more effective elimination of sand and larger particles, arrange appropriate hydraulic inlet in the cleaning device, increased quantities of coarse purification of rainwater and reduce air emissions. Local residents will be after the implementation of investment to live in a cleaner environment, thus contributing to a better quality of life. By upgrading the treatment plants the problem of waste water treatment in the region for a 30-year period will be solved. It will also enable safe operation within legal limits and standards and reduce environmental pollution.
