The construction of the first phase of a water treatment plant in Yasouj, capital city of Kohgilouyeh-Boyerahmad Province, has made 97% progress and will soon become operational, the head of the provincial water and wastewater company said.
“With a processing capacity of 200 liters of water per second, the facility will supply safe drinking water to around 100,000 people in the county,” Esfandiar Borkheh was also quoted as saying by the Energy Today website.
Started five years ago, the project was carried out at an estimated cost of $3 million, he added.
The official noted that when the second phase comes on stream, the capacity of the plant will rise by 50% to reach 300 liters per second.
