Egyptian Housing Minister Randa El-Menashy and Major General Ashraf Barakat, head of the Executive Agency for Drinking Water and Sewerage, reviewed the progress of sewerage projects in East Cairo. The projects aim to improve the sewerage infrastructure in the growing urban areas. El-Menashy emphasized the importance of completing these projects to enhance the quality of services provided to citizens.
The projects under review include the connection of sewerage networks in the north and south of the Marshal Tantawi axis and the improvement of sewerage networks in the upper and middle plateaus of Maadi. These projects are part of the Housing Ministry's plan to upgrade the basic infrastructure for drinking water and sewerage. The goal is to keep pace with urban growth and improve services in the beneficiary areas.
Major General Ashraf Barakat conducted a field visit to inspect the progress of the sewerage connection project in East Cairo. He monitored the work at the lifting stations and network lines, reviewing the implementation plan and the remaining tasks. Barakat stressed the need to address any challenges that may affect the project's timeline and to coordinate with relevant parties to ensure the project's completion.
The project serves the urban expansions north and south of the Marshal Tantawi axis, connecting them to the sewerage system and eventually to the Yellow Mountain treatment plant. The project includes the construction of three lifting stations and necessary slope lines to transport waste to the treatment system. This project aims to improve the living conditions of residents in these areas.
Additionally, Major General Barakat inspected the project to improve sewerage networks in the upper and middle plateaus of Maadi and the expansion of the main lifting station. He reviewed the project's progress and ensured that the components are ready for operation. The project serves the upper and middle plateaus and the Red Town, with a capacity of 60,000 cubic meters per day.
The project includes expanding the main lifting station and upgrading the connected sewerage lines and networks. This will enhance the efficiency of the sewerage system and improve services for residents. The completion of these projects is expected to significantly improve living conditions and public health in the areas served.
