Significant Developments in Badr City’s Water Infrastructure
Eng. Mohamed Abdelaziz Amer, Head of the Badr City Development Authority, alongside other officials, inspected the recently completed Water Supply Station No. 5. This station, which required an investment of EGP 370 million, features nine pumps in its first phase, each with a capacity of 720 liters per second. The facility includes two storage tanks with a total capacity of 10,000 cubic meters, a 2-kilometer discharge line, and supporting infrastructure such as administrative buildings, a mosque, and a workshop. The station has recently been operational to meet the increasing water demands due to the city’s growing population and development.
Officials also inspected Water Pumping Station No. 4, a key project with an investment of EGP 530 million. This station consists of six pumps, each with a capacity of 520 liters per second, and includes two storage tanks with a 10,000 cubic meter capacity. The project is supported by a 6.5-kilometer discharge line, and it is expected to significantly enhance water supply in the region.
Safe Disposal of Industrial Wastewater
The inspection continued with a visit to Sewage Pumping Station No. 8 and its 1200-mm discharge pipeline, stretching 9.5 kilometers at a cost of EGP 495 million. This facility is designed to transport 150,000 cubic meters per day of wastewater from Badr City to the capital’s drainage system. The team also reviewed the emergency solution station, recently activated by a specialized company, which includes three pumps with a capacity of 290 liters per second each and two generators.
Finally, the officials visited the Industrial Wastewater Pumping Station (4A), a project worth EGP 237 million aimed at separating industrial and human waste. This station, equipped with four pumps, is expected to begin operations next year and will play a key role in handling the industrial waste generated by the factories in the western industrial zone of Badr City.
These strategic projects are part of a broader plan to enhance infrastructure and services in Badr City, ensuring a better quality of life for its residents and supporting industrial development in the area.
