Of the unified sewerage conurbation with Budapest as its centre, the area of the BKISZ Project includes the areas of Budapest (population: 1,721,556) and the recently joined Budaörs (population: 28.894). The tender documentation was prepared for the areas of these two municipalities.
No new sewage treatment plant is established under the BKISZ Project.
No new sewer main is constructed in Budaörs. The existing inefficient sewage treatment plant is not reconstructed, instead, it is shut down, and the sewage coming to the shut-down treatment plan is conveyed to the South Buda collection system of Budapest, and through it, to the Csepel Central Sewage Treatment Plant. Therefore, the previously proposed South Buda Sewage Treatment Plant will not be constructed, because the capacities of the existing North Pest and South Pest treatment plants and the new Central Sewage Treatment Plant are sufficient for treating the sewage produced in the established sewerage conurbation both at present and in the very long term.

In Budapest, under the project, the Metropolitan Government of Budapest wished to provide for the sewerage of the existing areas that typically have a residential function in cooperation with the district governments and the town of Budaörs mostly with separate sanitary and storm sewer systems and sewage lift stations integral with them. In compliance with the conditions under Government Decree No. 26/2002 (II.27.), under the programme, sanitary sewers or a sewerage network are constructed only in a built-up residential zone in the inner areas of the town, which contain existing residential properties.

No sewer is constructed as part of preliminary development with services under the project. Furthermore, no sewer is constructed under the project in quarters in the outer areas of the town, in areas falling in non-residential zoning categories, for example, for residential properties located in industrial or recreation zones.

Of the 897,000 homes existing in Budapest in 2011, 852,200 were connected to the sewer system, while 44,800 were not. Of the existing 10,640 homes existing in Budaörs, which belongs to the project area, 9,895 were connected to the sewer system. (No sanitary sewage treatment plant is constructed in the area of Budaörs under the project.)
In Budapest, of the homes registered as not connected to the sewer system, the number of homes located in areas provided with sewerage and probably have their sewage removed in some way (perhaps through an adjacent property) or are connected to the sewer system without registration can be put at 20,000.
Therefore, under the project, 13,927 new building sewers are connected for 19,620 homes that can be economically provided with sewerage.
The number of inhabitants who belong to the direct target group of the project and who are connected to the sewer system through the implementation of the project is 41,792. To provide them with sewerage, the programme envisages the construction of 217,170 m of sewer mains and 14 network lift stations. The programme envisages the construction of 20,454 m of sewers forming the main wastewater network and flow control sewers for the operation of the system and five lift stations for the main wastewater network.
