The study of the sewage problems at Dubai's International City is almost complete, according to the waste water specialist carrying out the work on behalf of master developer Nakheel.

"We are almost ready to submit the report to Nakheel," Metito's Group Business Development Director Bassem El Halabi told UAE daily Emirates Business on Wednesday.

"We were awarded a short-term contract to do a study, which would help determine the best way to manage the entire sewage system at International City."

Last week, sewage flooded parts of a residential area within International City and submerged a car park, roads and pavements near the 'England' cluster.

Residents had said they were sickened by the waste water which was attracting flies in the summer heat.

Metito was commissioned to undertake a one-week study on the situation and give Nakheel a report, according to the newspaper.

The company was appointed in May to double the capacity of its existing sewage treatment plant there.
