Water Quality Improves Further in South Tehran

The second phase of Tehran's seventh water treatment plant (Mamlou Treatment Plant) became operational, managing director of Tehran Province Water and Wastewater Company said. It will help improve the quality of potable water in the southern parts of the sprawling capital, 
“The $80 million facility (in Pakdasht County, 25 km southeast of Tehran) has a capacity to treat 160 million cubic meters of water per annum,” Mohammadreza Bakhtiari was quoted as saying by IRNA.
Built over 11 hectares, the plant will help improve the quality of tap water for at least 2 million people.
“Piped water in Tehran’s downtown districts, namely Shoush, Khavaran, Baqerabad, Khavarshahr, Varamin, Pakdasht, Qiamdasht, Naziabad, Afsariyeh and Yaftabad was mixed with underground water. But now they will be supplied with surface water (from dams) that has better quality.”
