Urmia Lake Awaits More Reclaimed Wastewater

To help transfer more reclaimed wastewater to Urmia Lake, the third phase of the sewage treatment plant in Urmia, West Azarbaijan Province, will become operational in June, director of the provincial water and wastewater company said.
“The new phase will help raise the annual inflow of treated wastewater to the troubled Urmia Lake by 52 million cubic meters,” Latif Khoshsirat was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news service.
Several wastewater processing units are at varying stages of construction in the East and West Azarbaijan provinces and will significantly raise the effluent processing capacity after completion, he added.
