Steelmaker in Isfahan Says Giving Priority to Wastewater Treatment

Isfahan Steel Company, Iran's biggest producer of structural steel, signed a $30 million agreement Thursday with state-owned Isfahan Province Water and Wastewater Company (a subsidiary of the National Water and Wastewater Engineering Company of Iran) to expand wastewater infrastructure in rural areas, head of the water company said.
“The steel company will expand wastewater network to 25 small towns by 500 kilometers and develop treatment plants in Fouladshahr, a district in Lenjan County and Imanshahr in Falavarjan County, in the next two years,” Hashem Amini was quotes as saying by the Energy Ministry news portal.
To curb fresh water use in the arid province that has been suffering from drought for years, the giant steelmaker has spent $300 million on wastewater projects in the last decade, Amini said.
