DUBAI // Work has begun on a Dh108 million project to launch a 16km water distribution network between Jebel Ali and Al Quoz by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority. The project is part of Dewa’s aim to meet the power and water requirements of the emirate.
“The project includes extending the 1,200 mm water transmission pipeline by a further 16km from Jebel Ali through Al Khail Road to the pumping station complex in Al Quoz,” said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Dewa’s managing director and chief executive.
The project that will be completed by September next year also includes a remote control monitoring system between Jebel Ali and the main pumping stations in Al Quoz, connecting main transmission lines in different locations to increase water flow and meeting increasing demands in areas according to approved plans.
