 The renewal of networks and connectivity for new areas:
A program for the development and renewal of public sewage network in the old residential areas has been set up, divided into
( 16) stages to make the necessary renovations.
-Stages 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 have been completed successfully .
-Stage 12 is currently being implemented.
- 11,13,14,15,16 stages are in pre-implementation stages.
 Reducing the number of pumping and lifting stations:
-Reducing lifting and pumping stations to 5 giant stations as a result of the current and expected increased wastewater
amounts, and as a result of the growing population and the development of civilization, replacement of the old networks with
new ones featuring large diameters, deep levels and distinct architectural views is necessary.
