The scheme is on course to see a 49,000 m3/d wastewater treatment plant at Al Jurf fully operational within the next 18 months as the work by Black and Veatch gears up to bring modern sanitation to more than 350,000 people in 45,000 properties.
In this first-ever private finance deal for wastewater services in the Middle East that takes responsibility for the retail risk - the collection of the tariff from property owners and occupiers - a total of 31 kilometres of pipes have so far been installed for the proposed 230km network.
Meticulously designed to connect pipes with 22 pumping stations in the city, wastewater will be pumped to the new main treatment plant.
Approximately 70 per cent of civil construction works at the plant and the two main pumping stations has also been completed.
In the past few months, the Ajman Sewerage Company has reported a very encouraging response to its campaigns to explain the need for property owners to register their properties, and to stress the health and environmental benefits of the project.
Officials say that the campaigns, with the backing of the Ajman government, appear to have achieved excellent success rates, with 65 per cent of the emirate's property owners now covered by the registration process.
