Lack of Sewage Infrastructure Near Tehran Causing Concern

Expansion of the wastewater network has been a priority in the sprawling capital in recent years, but mismanagement and haphazard urban expansion has slowed and at times hampered the process.
Of the total 16 counties in Tehran Province, eight either lack wastewater plants and sewage network or the infrastructure is incomplete, ISNA reported.
Counties still without sewer systems include Qarchak, Varamin, Damavand and Firuzkuh and the network in Pakdasht, Eslamshahr, Shemshak and Baharestan counties has not been completed.
