Private Companies Join Kerman Wastewater Network Expansion

Private firms have invested $86 million to expand wastewater networks in three cities in Kerman Province and the southeastern province now holds the record for the highest private investment in this sector. 
Wastewater projects in Kerman, Sirjan, and Zarand, which were supposed to be carried by the government, hit a wall three years ago due to financial issues. However, with the help of private companies work has resumed and is almost halfway through, the managing director of Kerman Province Water and Wastewater Company said without naming the companies.
Mohammad Taheri said, “In Kerman City so far over 660 kilometers of wastewater collection network has been built and the project has made 41% progress,” the Energy Ministry news portal Paven quoted him as saying. Another 250 km of network will be set up by the end of the current Persian calendar year in March 2021.
