Typed facts extracted from the source documents by Scindu's grant-data review. Each value keeps its own conditions. Unknown means unstated, not zero or unlimited.

Applicant restrictionExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:103803.

The Fund does not enter support agreements with entities that fail environmental fees/penalties obligations or have due Fund liabilities subject to collection proceedings. It may condition or adjust support form/amount after analysing the application and its economic efficiency.

The general rules are expressly incorporated for matters not governed by special programme terms. This is an applicant-level restriction; it does not add a new project-cost category.

Applicant typeExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:103803.

The special programme names local-government units and their unions, or entities providing public services while carrying out the local-government units’ own tasks. The current page uses that same beneficiary wording.

The public-service-provider class is constrained to service provision in local-government own tasks; do not treat it as an unrestricted private-company category.

Application restrictionExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:103803.

The current route page links separate application archives for sewer-network projects, wastewater-treatment projects, and public-aid documents. Paper applications must not be stapled, bound or placed in folders/sleeves; electronic applications may be submitted through e-Delivery under the linked instructions. The actual archive includes 2026 and earlier-vintage members, so use the current linked form version for the project type.

Exact current route form archives were retained. Older archive members have original file dates; this review does not assert that every historical member remains the current mandatory annex.

Application restrictionExact programme route and 2026-10-23 source status.

As of the exact route-page capture on 23 October 2026, the catalogue marks this programme open. The route page gives an intake window from 26 January 2026 through 29 October 2027 and reserves the Fund’s right to stop or suspend intake earlier.

The status is bound to the 23 October 2026 capture; later availability and any remaining allocation were not checked.

Eligible project scopeExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:103803.

The programme covers wastewater treatment plants and sanitary sewer networks in KPOŚK agglomerations with 2,000–14,999 RLM, and building connections to gravity, pressure or vacuum sanitary sewer systems. Network projects must include connections enabling collection from at least 75% of RLM in the served catchment. Connection projects require an existing or under-construction collective sewer system and concern domestic/household wastewater; undeveloped plots are excluded. Owners of supported connection properties may receive Fund support under only one wastewater programme, and beneficiary selects the aid recipients.

The 75% connection condition is expressly for construction of sewer networks. The one-programme restriction applies to end-beneficiary property connections, not to the municipal applicant’s project in general.

Other conditionExact 2026 special-programme financing terms.

Fund support may cover up to 100% of eligible project costs, with up to 50% of the support in a grant capped at PLN 4,000,000. A grant requires a non-remissible loan at least equal to the grant; the loan is not remitted, and each grant tranche can be released only alongside a loan tranche at least as large. The Fund loan bears variable preferential interest based on the bill-red discount rate (s.r.w.) under the current general rules.

The PLN4m ceiling applies to grant funding; no separate maximum loan principal or total project award is stated. Do not add the programme-wide grant allocation as project funding.

Other conditionExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:103803.

For the relevant water-protection infrastructure works, the linked Katowice signage rules require an information board only where construction lasts more than six months, installed promptly after contract signature at a visible location; a commemorative plaque is due within 30 days of the contract-specified completion date. The board has specified content and a minimum 2.00 m × 1.7 m size, subject to the rule’s consultation exception.

These post-award communication obligations do not establish eligible communication costs or staffing roles. The board size reduction exception requires justified grounds and consultation with the Fund.

Other conditionExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:103803.

The programme is implemented during 2026–2030. Eligible costs are incurred from the application date (the application notice sets the exact date) through 31 December 2030. The project must not be completed before the funding application is submitted.

The exact qualifying cost start is the date stated in the current notice; the programme text says start from the application date.

Other conditionExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:103803.

Public-aid permissibility applies when setting support intensity. Where the grant is passed through an applicant local-government unit, aid rules apply to the ultimate recipients and the funded local-government unit is the aid-granting body responsible for compliance. Tasks supported by other non-repayable public funds are excluded; if other non-repayable public funds are later obtained for the same task, grant amounts are returned first. Overall Fund plus other public financing may not exceed 100% of eligible costs except bridge loans.

The public-aid attachment archive is linked on the current route page, but its archived forms include 2023/2024 versions; do not infer an aid rate/category from the forms. The exact lawful aid path depends on the ultimate recipient and applicable aid regulation.

Other conditionExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:103803.

Fund support is public money, and the current general funding rules say public procurement law applies to beneficiaries spending those funds. The special programme makes the beneficiary responsible for choosing end recipients for building-connection support.

The exact procurement method depends on the applicant and applicable law; no procurement threshold or contractor pay rate is stated here.

Staff restrictionPersonnel/payroll facts for the exact 2026 Katowice programme.

The reviewed special programme and incorporated current cost lists do not publish a fundable employee role, salary range, headcount, or hiring commitment. Project management and technical assistance are expressly ineligible costs; no employee payroll allowance is asserted. The programme references a general qualified-cost guideline, but its exact current applicable version has not yet been retained and checked for any general payroll treatment.

Known source evidence supports infrastructure works and excludes project-management/technical-assistance services. Because the referenced generic cost guideline was not found in the current route link set, separate direct employee payroll treatment remains unknown; do not infer salaries or a hiring plan.

Eligible costExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:103803.

Eligible costs include necessary equipment/technology supply, purchase and installation; site preparation; demolition of conflicting structures; earthworks and construction/assembly; equipment installation; site restoration; commissioning; media connections to technical facilities; sewer network construction/reconstruction/modernization and building connections; relocation of conflicting networks/structures. VAT is eligible only when shown on invoices settled by the Fund and the beneficiary has no right to recover it.

The programme says the special enumerated details govern the incorporated qualified-cost guidelines only within these specifications. The PDF has explicit cost lists for the named categories; it does not establish a separate salary/payroll allowance.

Eligible unit cost, maximumBuilding-connection cost category only.

PLN 2,900

Maximum eligible net cost basis for building connections; PLN per RLM. No unit-cost ceiling for treatment plants is stated in this clause.

Eligible unit cost, maximumSewer-network cost category only.

PLN 10,000

Maximum eligible net cost basis for construction/expansion of sanitary sewer network; PLN per RLM. This is a cost ceiling, not an award amount.

Funding intensity, maximumExact 2026–2030 agglomeration programme; combined grant and nonremissible loan support.

100 percent of eligible project costs for combined grant and loan support

This is the total Fund grant-plus-loan support ceiling relative to eligible project costs. The source separately permits the grant component to be up to 50% of support; this field does not encode that grant share. No absolute loan principal cap is stated.

Ineligible costExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:103803.

The programme excludes design documentation; investor supervision, geodetic services and geological tests; land purchase and compensation; tender documentation including a functional-use programme; project management, technical assistance, opinions and expert reports; administrative buildings; administrative charges including sewer connection and technical-conditions fees, and charges payable to the beneficiary.

No standalone employee role or payroll eligibility is listed. The project-management category is expressly excluded; role/pay/headcount claims are not inferred from engineering or contractor services.

Grace period, maximumGeneral funding rules Resolution 49/2026, effective 1 May 2026; standard loan terms incorporated unless displaced by a route-specific clause; bridge loans excluded.

18 months after contractual task-completion date

The standard rules cap grace at 18 months after the task-completion date set in the agreement; repayment begins no earlier than six months after that date. Bridge loans are excepted. The actual schedule is contractual.

Loan interest, minimumNon-remissible loan component under current general rules expressly incorporated by the special programme.

1.5 percent per year minimum

The numeric value is the annual floor (not a fixed rate). Standard non-remissible loans use 0.40 × s.r.w.; public-aid loans may use the applicable base rate plus margin, but no less than this floor. Conditions are governed at the loan agreement date and adjusted monthly.

Loan term, maximumGeneral funding rules Resolution 49/2026, effective 1 May 2026; standard loan terms incorporated unless displaced by a route-specific clause; bridge loans excluded.

240 months from contractual task-completion date, including grace

The agreement sets the actual repayment schedule after financial analysis and public-aid review. This is the maximum 20-year period measured from the contractual task-completion date and includes any grace period; bridge loans are excepted from these terms. The rule also requires the repayment of half the loan to be scheduled over at least half of the repayment period.

Project funding, maximumGrant component only, exact Katowice special programme.

PLN 4,000,000

Maximum grant component for the project, PLN; the linked programme states total Fund support may cover up to 100% of eligible costs and requires a non-remissible loan at least equal to the grant.

Topic allocationAnnual grant programme allocation for 2026–2030; not a call balance or per-project award. The Fund may increase the allocation.

PLN 4,000,000
