BAGHDAD, Iraq – More than 31,000 Iraqi citizens in the Ninewa and Basrah Governorates are expected to benefit from
from the construction of four potable water projects. These compact potable water treatment plants and the installation of deep wells, pumps and distribution networks in Ninewa and Basrah were identified by Provincial Regional Development Committees and local authorities in conjunction with the Ministry of Municipality and Public Works.
Three projects to construct, pumps, and distribution networks will supply potable water to about 25,000 residents throughout Ninewa. These projects should deliver potable water in December 2005. A 200 cubic-meter- per-hour potable water treatment plant with reverse smosis (a technique used to remove impurities from water) will supply potable water to 6,000people living in the Basrah area. The treatment plant is estimated to be completed in April 2006.
The estimated cost for the four water projects is $1.7 million. The awarding of these contracts is imminent and will provide jobs for local companies with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Gulf Region Division. GRD will provide quality assurance oversight. The Ninewa projects will provide work for approximately 100 workers during the construction and for more than 30 workers for the projects’ maintenance and continued operation.
Construction of the Basrah treatment plant will employ about 20-25 workers and the operation of the plant will employ about 14 Iraqi workers. The Basrah work will also train local operators on site in the technology and maintenance of the compact unit.
