A delegation comprising several deputies from the second region and two representatives from the municipalities of Hammamet and Bou Argoub visited the Beny Wail Agricultural Development Complex in the Borj Hafif municipality of Nabeul governorate. The visit aimed to inspect the project's status and identify issues that hindered its completion. According to Anis Khalfawi, a deputy in the second region, the project is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
The project, which involves the construction of a water reservoir, has encountered several procedural and legal issues, including the termination of the contract with the previous contractor and the completion of some simple works. Khalfawi stated that the project's completion will enable the improvement of water supply for approximately 5,800 families in the municipalities of Bou Argoub and Hammamet. The project will be handed over to the National Water Exploitation and Distribution Company (SONDE).
The project's progress was evaluated at 96%, with the remaining work focused on resolving the outstanding issues. The delegation's visit was part of the government's efforts to monitor stalled projects and accelerate their completion. Khalfawi emphasized the importance of completing the project to improve the water supply in the region.
The water project is expected to have a significant impact on the daily lives of residents in Bou Argoub and Hammamet. The region has faced challenges in terms of water scarcity, and the completion of the project will help alleviate these issues. The project's implementation is being closely monitored by the authorities to ensure its timely completion.
The National Water Exploitation and Distribution Company (SONDE) will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the project once it is completed. The company has a critical role in ensuring that the water supply is distributed efficiently to households in the region. The project's completion will also create new opportunities for economic growth and development in the area.
The Tunisian government has been working to complete stalled projects across the country, with a focus on improving infrastructure and public services. The completion of the water project in Bou Argoub and Hammamet is part of this effort. The government aims to accelerate the completion of such projects to improve the quality of life for citizens.
The project's completion is expected to be finalized in the coming months, with the handover to SONDE anticipated before the end of the year. Once operational, the project will provide a reliable source of clean water for thousands of households in the region. The project's success will be a significant achievement for the Tunisian government in its efforts to improve public services.
