Dewa begins work on Dh170m water pipeline project

The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, Dewa, has announced that work on a new Dh170 million water pipeline project, which will supply water through a group of networks extending 25 kilometres into various parts of the emirate, has begun.

The project will see 17 water distribution sites installed, which the government body says will expand water transportation between the main lines, increase water flow to the city, and ensure a continuous water supply.

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Dewa MD and CEO, said, "The implementation of the strategy and its ambitious plans come to meet the need of the overall development of the power and water supply to meet Dubai's Strategic Plan and the current and future needs for water in Dubai."

Al Tayer went on to say that the authority plans to raise the efficiency and capacity of its water and electricity infrastructure to provide a more efficient service to its consumers, including developers and businesses, which continue to grow in Dubai.

The project is due for completion by the end of 2015.
