DM to lay sewage lines worth Dh555.85mn

Hussain Nasser Lootah, Acting Director-General of Dubai Municipality, said the two projects, which are expected to be completed by May 2010, form part of the civic body's plans to link new residential areas with the city's main drainage network. While the first project will serve the south of Al Barsha-1 area and will involve major sewage, storm-water lines and house connections, the second will serve Al Khawaneej area.

In another development, Dubai Municipality has begun the construction of a Dh55 million drainage network in Al Nahda and Al Mamzar areas. The project covering 328 hectares would involve sewage connections to 250 houses and other buildings as well as storm-water network in the entire area.

The Drainage and Irrigation Department in Dubai Municipality has urged residents of the areas to give any suggestions or remarks in this regard on the municipality's homepage www.dm.gov.ae (Have Your Say) or by calling toll-free 800 900 or by Fax (04-2214835).
