It was attended by the Minister of Investment, Industry and Trade, Laziz Kudratov, executives of the Abu Dhabi Sustainable Water Solutions (SWS) and the acting chief of Uzsuvtaminot, Akhmad Suvonkulov.
The project provides for the construction of a modern sewage treatment facility with a capacity of 1 million m3 per day with a subsequent release of 1.5 million m3 on the territory of the Surum mahalla and a 42 km long sewer collector.
