Water Rationing Not an Option in Tehran

There are no plans to announce restrictions on water use this summer in Tehran Province, the head of Tehran Water and Wastewater Company said.
"The company has forecast water consumption to soar over the next two summer months. Nonetheless, there are no plans to ration water anywhere in the province," ISNA also quoted Mohammad Reza Bakhtiari as saying.
Blaming recent power cuts for disruptions in water supply or lower water pressure in some areas, he noted that a part of water in the province is extracted from deep wells with the help of pumps that are not equipped with diesel generators.
However, the official did not elaborate on the reason for not rationing water in Tehran Province.
