Ahvaz Sewage Collection Network to Become Operational Next Year

Operations to complete Ahvaz sewage collection network in Khuzestan Province are on track and will become operational next year, the head of the provincial water and wastewater company said.
“Upon completion, close to 80,000 cubic meters of industrial and municipal effluents that now flow into the world-famous Karun River will be collected and diverted to Ahvaz East Wastewater Treatment Plant, with a daily capacity of 112,000 cubic meters,” Mohammad Reza Karami-Nejad was also quoted as saying by ILNA.
The wastewater treatment facility was launched in 2018. But due to the incomplete wastewater infrastructure in the region, only 20,000 cubic meters of effluent are recycled at the plant per day.
