Mazandaran Water Supply Projects Gain Momentum 

Close to $40 million have been allocated to complete water supply projects in Mazandaran Province, including the second phase of a water treatment plant in Babol County, managing director of the National Water and Wastewater Engineering Company (Abfa) said.
“The development projects have made slow progress due to financial constraints, but they are expected to gain momentum following the injection of new funds,” the Energy Ministry’s news portal also quoted Atabak Jafari as saying.
“When Babol water treatment plant becomes fully operational, it will supply safe drinking water [1,500 liters per second] to the cities of Babol, Babolsar and Fereydounkenar, as well as 57 villages, covering a total of 600,000 people,” he added.
Besides the water treatment facility and pipelines, the project will also build several pumping stations.
