Tehran Wastewater Network Plan Makes 70% Progress

Tehran wastewater network development plan, dubbed Tehran Water Ring System, has registered 70% progress and will be launched in 2022, a deputy of Tehran Province Water and Wastewater Company said.
“Close to 7,200 kilometers of pipelines have been laid in and around Tehran to connect the network to wastewater plants under construction in the south and west of the city,” the Energy Ministry’s news service also quoted Morteza Ehteshami as saying.
“Expansion of wastewater network has been a priority, but lack of funds and rapid expansion of urban areas have slowed the process. So far, 58% of the residents are connected to the sewage network, and as soon as it is fully operational, close to 11 million will be covered by the grid.”
