An integrated sanitation network that will cost $8.2m to deliver has been ordered by Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ajman. The network will initially serve the Sheikh Zayed Housing Complex in Al Montazah, Ajman.

The project entails the construction of over 300km of sewage pipes, 27 pumping stations and a sewage treatment station that can treat over 140m litres of sewage daily. The network will serve the 769 villas in the housing complex in Ajman, as well as future developments.

According to a report by WAM, Ajman Sewerage will begin work on the sewage network in line with its long-term goal to collect sewage water from over 170,000 residences.

The project will be monitored by Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman and chairman of the Ajman Executive Council, and supervised by Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, chairman of the Municipality and Planning Department and chairman of the Board of Directors of Ajman Sewerage.

The sewage network was designed by Ajman Sewerage and will be built in cooperation with the Ajman Municipality and Planning Department and the Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme.
