Ajman turns on sewage system

The northern emirate of Ajman will soon switch on its new AED 800 million sewerage system, according to the Ajman Municipality. The addition to the emirate's infrastructure is being set up to cope with large-scale commercial and residential projects.

"A healthy living environment for residents, a more vibrant economy, and a greener Ajman are just a few of the benefits promised by the new system," said Sheikh Rashid Bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, chairman of Ajman Sewerage Company.

Installation work is now in the advanced stages after the recent inauguration of the sewerage reticulation and treatment plant marked the completion of about 50% of the project.

More than 250 km of pipeline is on schedule to be fully operational by the end of 2008, while more than 100 km has already been laid.

The system will serve 75 000 homes and businesses on 12 500 plots of land, processing 50 000 m³ of sewage into irrigation-quality water every day.
