Expansion of Tehran’s wastewater network has registered 76% progress and is expected to be completed in five years, managing director of Tehran Province Water and Wastewater Company said.
“The overall plan is for constructing 9,000 kilometers of wastewater network of which 6,800 km are in place,” Mohammadreza Bakhtiari was quoted as saying by Mehr News Agency.
Pipe laying work has been undertaken in all 22 districts of the expanding capital to connect households and industries to the wastewater network.
