The Supreme Council of Water Resources will implement sewage lines to treat water in order to ensure sustainability in the Kingdom.

Works Ministry’s Acting Assistant Undersecretary Asma Murrad revealed that the Tender Board awarded a contract to a downtown company in order to build a sewage line from North Sitra to Manama at a cost of BD1,538,025, which will start next month.

Asma Murrad said the project would extend from the sewage treatment plant in Sitra to the sewage tank in Umm Al Hassam.

“This will ensure sustainability of water, benefiting the agriculture and landscaping and help protect water from depletion and pollution.”

The ministry had taken drastic steps in the field of water treatment, implementing policies aimed at creating a balance between demand and availability to help achieve the Bahrain Economic Vision 2030, Murrad added.

Using treated water was part of the ministry’s priorities, she said, pointing out that there were a number of challenges facing the countries of the world in terms of the various good uses of water supply.

The ministry aims at preserving public health by providing water treatment networks extending in most areas of Bahrain and the safety of the environment by finding an alternative source to water in order to solve the ground water deterioration problem.

The acting assistant secretary explained that presently the demand for sanitised water used for agriculture could not meet the needs. This led the ministry to make use of the treated water from other sub-stations such as the one in North Sitra, which produces 12,000 cubic metres per day which hopes to take advantage in parts of Manama on main public streets.

“The restoration project in Sitra is the first of many Water treatment projects which the ministry is preparing to implement to take advantage of this alternative water source.

Also, the degree of treatment and type of water receives a great deal of attention from the ministry to ensure the preservation of public health,” Murrad said.
