Mekorot Union is implementing a large-scale sanitation project across the Bustan Al-Marj and Al-Butuf regional councils. The project involves upgrading the main collection pipeline, extending from the villages of Al-Dahya and Nain to the Dovrat wastewater treatment plant. A key innovation is a trenchless technology that inserts a new pipe within the old one, then expands it to the required diameter, eliminating the need for extensive street excavation. The project also includes adding new sewage networks to residential areas in Al-Dahya and rerouting sewage from Nain to utilize natural gravity flow, bypassing the need for an electric pumping station. In Kafr Manda, sanitation networks are being installed for the stadium and cemetery areas, alongside significant repairs to the existing network. In Wadi Al-Hamam, part of the Al-Butuf council, all homes not yet connected to the sewage system are being linked. This initiative employs modern techniques like horizontal drilling to minimize disruption to existing infrastructure and traffic, and reduce environmental pollution. The project is managed by Mekorot's engineering division, overseen by engineer Shadi Khoury and sanitation department director Salem Suleiman. Mekorot's General Director, Salah Nassar, stated that the project utilizes innovative methods to minimize damage to street infrastructure and traffic disruption, serving residents and facilitating new housing development and licensing in the region.
