Mazandaran Optimizing Wastewater Treatment

The second phase of a wastewater development plan has become operational in the capital city Sari, Mazandaran Province, head of the provincial Water and Wastewater Company said.
“Sewage processing capacity in Sari [in the not too distant past] was 100,000 cubic meters per day and has increased by 30%,” Majid Abdollahi was quoted as saying by IRNA.
The $30 million project will recycle 30,000 cubic meters of wastewater per day and was completed in five years by the National Water and Wastewater Engineering Company of Iran (Abfa), he Abdollahi said.
An estimated 130 million cubic meters of wastewater is produced by households in the northern tourist region of which less than 20 mcm is treated and the rest flows into the Caspian Sea or seeps into the ground.
