history
The Liechtenstein Unterland and Schaan wastewater association was founded in July 1971. From this, the waste water association of the municipalities of Liechtenstein developed by 2000 through the accession of several municipalities in stages. In 1980 the municipality of Planken joined, whereby the name was changed to the waste water association Liechtensteiner Unterland, Schaan and Planken . In 1996, the municipalities of Vaduz, Triesen and Triesenberg joined and the name was changed to become the Liechtenstein Wastewater Association . In 1997 a resolution was passed for the renovation and expansion of the ARA Bendern, which was built by the association from 1974 to 1976. With the expansion of the wastewater treatment facility on four streets, optimal management is achieved. After the municipality of Balzers joined in 2000 , the name of the association was changed to the Wastewater Association of the Municipalities of Liechtenstein and the originally planned expansion goal was achieved. From 2000, further expansion and renovation measures will follow in the Bendern ARA.
