To help solve water pressure reduction in Alborz Province, the Karaj Water Treatment Plant will come on stream soon, the managing director of the provincial water and wastewater company said.“The new unit will increase water supply capacity in the region by 100 liters per second,” Hamidreza Namdari was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news portal.As a temporary solution to curb the decline in water pressure, the company has dug 10 new wells in the area, but as soon as the new facility opens, the wells will be sealed, he added.Namdari said the development project of Karaj Water Treatment Plant has registered 98% progress and is expected to become operational in August.“The facility’s capacity will increase by 33% with the use of new equipment and ceramic membrane filtration system,” he said.Water treatment using ceramic filters is one of the most advanced water purification methods. In addition to occupying little space, it has a higher quality of purification compared to sand filters.The ceramic membrane filtration system is a water treatment system to generate clean and clear tap water by eliminating impurities (bacteria and protozoa such as cryptosporidium) and turbidity in raw water from river systems and well water.Moreover, a project is underway in Alborz Province to build water storage reservoirs with a capacity of 55,000 cubic meters.
