Ministers coordinate to create a water-purification plant for several areas

The Ministers of Housing, Irrigation and Electricity are coordinating to complete construction works for a water purification station in 6th of October City to serve the areas of Faisal, Tawabek and Kafr Tohormos, according to cabinet spokesman Hossam El-Kawish.

Several areas in Giza have witnessed water outages that lasted for days, prompting angry citizens to demonstrate on the streets to pressure the government to raise the production capacity of the plants and establish new ones.

El-Kawish said in a Tuesday press release that Prime Minister Sherif Ismail met with the ministers to resolve water outage crises.

“This project is a fundamental solution to the problem of water outages in the areas of Faisal, Tawabek, Kafr Tohormos and others,” said El-Kawish. The state gives due attention to water projects in areas that are most in need, such as the governorates of Giza, Daqahleya and Sharqeya, and Sohag, he said. The government is also working to complete the construction of drinking water stations in those governorates.
