The Office National de l’Assainissement (ONA) launched construction of a wastewater treatment plant in Bouinan, Algeria.
The facility which has a planned capacity of 65,000 cu mtr per day will be constructed within a period of 24 months at a cost of approximately USD 26 million.
Upon completion, the wastewater treatment plant will treat domestic wastewater released from thousands of homes in the wilaya of Blida and its environs, where over one million Algerians dwell.
By treating the domestic wastewater in the wilaya of Blida and its environs the facility will as a result help preserve surface water resources from pollution, avoid the destruction of aquatic fauna, and the proliferation of water-borne diseases in the country.
Projects similar to the construction of the wastewater treatment plant in Bouinan are being carried out in several cities in Algeria as part of the government’s objective to ensure better sanitation services for its population.
One of the wastewater treatment plant projects is expected to be completed and to come online in 2022 in Bechar.
