Applicant restrictionExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104287.

The incorporated general funding rules prohibit agreements with entities that fail to meet environmental fee/penalty obligations or have due liabilities to the Fund subject to collection. The Fund may condition support or its amount after assessing the application and economic efficiency.

The 2026 special programme expressly incorporates current general rules for points not addressed by its special terms.

Applicant typeExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104287.

Eligible applicants are local-government units and business entities created to perform a municipality’s own water-supply tasks for residents, with local-government units (municipalities/cities) holding more than half of the entity’s shares.

The corporate route requires both the municipal water-task purpose and >50% local-government ownership; the page’s generic “entrepreneur” tag does not independently broaden eligibility.

Application restrictionExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104287.

The exact route was shown open in the 23 October 2026 catalogue capture. The call page gives intake from 6 February 2026 through 29 October 2027 or until the allocation is exhausted.

Status is bound to the 2026-10-23 capture; a later closure or remaining balance is not verified.

Application restrictionExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104287.

Only expenses incurred after the application date and no later than 15 November 2028 may be included in Fund settlement. If non-repayable funding is obtained from other sources, the Fund grant is subject to return. Termination of the loan agreement simultaneously terminates the grant agreement.

The post-application start and final eligible expense date are stated in the current special programme.

Application restrictionExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104287.

Beneficiaries spend public funds and the current general rules apply public procurement law to that spending. The exact route links separate application archives for water-network and water-treatment station projects, as well as public-aid documents.

Application files in the archives include historical forms and current 2026 documents; check the currently required annex version for each project.

Eligible project scopeExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104287.

The programme supports building, expansion and modernization of water-supply infrastructure for adequate potable-water quantity and quality, including crisis scenarios. The detailed scope includes water-network systems; water connections; intakes; emergency/reserve wells; pumping stations; treatment plants; potable/treated-water tanks; cybersecurity, monitoring and quality/quantity protection; renewable-energy generation/storage used only for own water-supply facilities; crisis water-transport and distribution devices outside the water network; reducing water losses by at least 25%; asbestos-cement elimination; and water reuse.

The 25% water-loss floor is a specifically listed eligible subject area; the rest of §8.1 includes the listed infrastructure categories. The application archive separates water network from treatment-station project forms.

Other conditionExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104287.

The route links a public-aid documents archive, and the general funding rules require compliance with EU and Polish public-aid law. The precise aid category/rate depends on the applicant’s and project’s circumstances; the linked archive contains dated forms and does not establish a single aid rate for all applicants.

No public-aid intensity is invented beyond the special programme’s applicant-class support levels.

Other conditionCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026, Table 3 §§3.1 and 3.3.1–3.3.3; conditional general loan rules, not a route-specific promise.

A borrower may request partial remission only where the loan was not reimbursed from public funds, including EU funds, and all stated conditions are met together: the loan-funded task was completed and settled within the contractual period; planned ecological and material effects were achieved by contractual deadlines; the project durability period expired; at least 50% of the amount used was repaid on time (early repayment does not qualify to request remission); and the borrower met statutory fees and penalties and its obligations to the Fund. The Fund’s decision is discretionary, made by the competent Fund body, and cannot exceed the borrower’s actual outstanding obligations under that loan on the application date. These are general rules for partial remission only if the route’s eventual loan agreement is a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The exact route page does not establish that this particular loan will be remissible; no universal route entitlement is asserted.

Other conditionCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026, Table 3 §3.2.1(a); conditional only if this route results in a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission.

If partial remission is approved under Table 3 §3.2.1(a), it may be up to 10% of the loan amount used, capped at PLN 0.2 million; this option does not require the remitted amount to be spent on a new ecological task. This is an alternative general remission rule, not a route-specific entitlement. These are general rules for partial remission only if the route’s eventual loan agreement is a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission.

Other conditionCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026, Table 3 §3.2.1(b); conditional only if this route results in a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission.

Alternatively, if partial remission is approved under Table 3 §3.2.1(b), it may be up to 35% of the loan amount used, capped at PLN 4 million, only if the remitted amount is allocated to a new ecological task consistent with the Environmental Protection Law. The two §3.2.1 alternatives are alternatives, not additive caps. This is a general conditional rule, not a route-specific entitlement. These are general rules for partial remission only if the route’s eventual loan agreement is a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission.

Other conditionExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104287.

The programme is implemented in 2026–2028, and the project must be completed by 15 November 2028.

The linked programme sets the period; route intake runs through 29 October 2027 or exhaustion.

Other conditionCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026, Table 3 §3.4; conditional general loan rules.

The General Rules exclude remission for loans granted to carry out a task arising from an administrative order to remove environmental contamination. Applicability to a route project must be assessed from the actual task and order; this does not establish that the route itself is categorically excluded. These are general rules for partial remission only if the route’s eventual loan agreement is a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The exact route page does not establish that this particular loan will be remissible; no universal route entitlement is asserted.

Other conditionCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026, Table 3 §3.3.5; conditional general loan rules.

Filing a remission request does not suspend current payment obligations under the loan agreement. Under a separate remission agreement, the Fund returns qualifying instalments paid after the request date without interest on returned amounts. These are general rules for partial remission only if the route’s eventual loan agreement is a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The exact route page does not establish that this particular loan will be remissible; no universal route entitlement is asserted.

Other conditionCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026, Table 3 §§3.2.2–3.2.3; conditional general loan rules, not a route-specific promise.

The approved remission is reduced by any Fund grant used for the same task. The remaining remission is reduced by 15% where an agreement amendment reduces specified ecological effects for sewer connections, asbestos disposal tasks, or municipal low-emission programmes; by 30% where an amendment reduces other planned ecological effects; by 5% each time required disbursement, final settlement, or effect-confirmation documents are submitted more than 30 days late; and by 5% each time a principal instalment is more than 30 days late. These reductions apply to the remission amount after the grant offset. These are general rules for partial remission only if the route’s eventual loan agreement is a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The exact route page does not establish that this particular loan will be remissible; no universal route entitlement is asserted.

Other conditionExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104287.

For eligible water-management infrastructure projects, Katowice signage rules require an information board only when construction lasts more than six months and a commemorative plaque within 30 days after the contract-specified completion date.

These are post-award communication requirements and do not establish eligible communication cost or staffing.

Other conditionExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104287.

Maximum requested intensity of Fund support as a loan or loan combined with grant is 100% of eligible costs. Grant intensity is at most 30% for local-government applicants and 20% for eligible business entities; each grant requires a Fund loan no smaller than the grant amount.

The 30% and 20% grants are applicant-class-specific. The 100% ceiling refers to requested loan support or loan-plus-grant support, not grant intensity alone.

Staff restrictionExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104287.

No employee title, salary, headcount, hiring commitment or distinct payroll allowance is stated in the special programme or exact route page. The programme permits consideration of unlisted costs only if they materially affect the ecological effect or are necessary for implementation; it does not say that direct employee payroll is accepted under that discretion.

Staffing and compensation remain unknown; §8.2 is a case-specific eligibility discretion, not a blanket employee-cost authorization. No pay/headcount inference is made.

Eligible costExact current Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104287.

Eligible project costs comprise purchase, delivery, installation and construction works needed to achieve the ecological effect for water supply networks and connections; water intakes and emergency/reserve wells; pumping stations; treatment plants; drinking/treated-water tanks; cybersecurity and monitoring/quality-protection systems; renewable energy used only by the water-supply facility; and crisis water transport/distribution outside the water network. Other unlisted costs may be considered eligible or own contribution only if they materially affect the ecological effect or are necessary for implementation.

The §8.2 discretion is conditional on significant effect contribution or necessity; it is not an automatic additional-cost approval.

Funding intensity, maximumEligible business-entity grant only.

20 percent of eligible project costs

The business entity must meet the programme’s municipal water-supply task and >50% municipal-ownership conditions; a Fund loan no smaller than the grant is required.

Funding intensity, maximumExact current route, total Fund support.

100 percent of eligible costs

This is the maximum requested combined Fund support intensity, not grant-only intensity.

Funding intensity, maximumLocal-government applicant grant only.

30 percent of eligible project costs

A Fund loan no smaller than the grant is a prerequisite for the grant.

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, minimumRequired Fund loan component, as regulated by incorporated 2026 general rules.

1.5 percent per year minimum

The special programme requires a loan but does not provide a separate interest rate; it incorporates current Katowice general rules. This is a variable annual formula and minimum floor, not a fixed current rate.

Loan partial remission, maximum amountCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026, Table 3 §3.2.1(a), the 10% remission alternative; absolute cap paired with the 10% of amount-used share; general and conditional only, not a route-specific entitlement.

PLN 200,000

Conditional current General Rules Resolution 49/2026 provisions only apply if this particular route results in a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission.
