The plant is planned to have an initial capacity of 75 thousand cubic meters, with additional capacity to be increased in the next phase.”
The official of the institution noted that work is currently being carried out in 7 shafts along the collector:
“Construction work has already been completed in four of them, and work continues in three. Excavation work has commenced, and equipment has been placed in one of the shafts.”
He also emphasized that the project is planned to be completed within three years:
“In addition, the aim is to complete the work in a shorter period. Regarding financial matters, the cost of the water treatment plant is 102 million manats, and the cost of the collector line is 135 million manats. The project is fully financed by state funds, and no additional funding is anticipated.”
The official of the institution added that as a result of the project, the management of sewage and wastewater will be ensured for several settlements, including the city of Khirdalan, as well as the settlements of Masazir, Ashagi Guzdak, 28 May, and Mushfig:
“In addition, the construction of seven more collector lines is ongoing in Baku. Concurrently, the construction of 2 water treatment plants and 3 pumping stations is also being carried out.
The project also holds significant environmental importance. The water discharged from the treatment plant will be fully purified and directed to the Caspian Sea, and can even be used for irrigation purposes,” I. Rzayev concluded.
