Tehran Emergency Water Supply Project Behind Schedule

Despite expanding Tehran's water supply network by at least 150 kilometers over the last five years, the plan to install emergency water supply tanks is behind schedule, the head of the state-owned Tehran Province Water and Wastewater Company (Abfa) said.
“Around 375 water supply facilities should be installed in the sprawling capital so that if the water supply is cut off by an earthquake or other natural disaster, Abfa can provide people with water in affected areas,” Mohammad Reza Bakhtiari was also quoted as saying by ISNA.
Of the total tanks, only 10 are in place due to financial disputes with previous contractors. Nonetheless, a new contractor has been chosen and plans are underway to install 150 emergency supply tanks by March 2023, he added.
Each tank has the capacity to hold 100 cubic meters of water.
