This step increases the plant’s production capacity to 600,000 cubic meters per day. Once both phases are fully completed, the total output is expected to reach 1 million cubic meters per day. This expansion is part of the ministry’s strategic plan to meet the growing demand for water, especially during the summer months.

El-Ghaiti clarified that the total design capacity of the second phase of the New Cairo Water Treatment Plant reaches 500,000 cubic meters per day and will be gradually put into operation to meet the city’s needs and accommodate its rapid population and urban growth. It is noteworthy that this initiative aligns with the state’s ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure and provide sustainable essential services, ensuring it keeps pace with the accelerated urban development in New Cairo.
