Abfa: High Time to Replace Corroded Water Pipelines

Non-revenue water loss in Iran is at least 10% higher than in neighboring states because close to 90,000 kilometers of pipelines in the national water network are corroded and must be replaced, director of the Consumption Management Office at the National Water and Wastewater Engineering Company of Iran (Abfa) said.
“Abfa’s non-revenue water loss stands at 30% and the company needs $500 million to reduce it by 1%,” Ali Akbar Ghazali was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
As per last year’s budget bill, an estimated $2 million were supposed to be allocated to fund projects aimed at reducing water loss, which is yet to be received by the state-run firm, he added.
