Sharjah municipality is planning to build a AED1.2bn ($327m) wastewater treatment plant in the Al-Sajaa Industrial area.
The plant is due to open in 2012. The municipality will build the plant in three phases, each with capacity to treat 100,000 cubic metres a day (cm/d) of wastewater.
Sharjah is seeking a consultant for the project.
The municipality has operated a 230,000-cm/d wastewater treatment plant in the industrial area since 1978.
The UK’s Halcrow and Belgium’s Besix have worked at the site since the mid-1970s.
Sharjah’s population is growing at an annual rate of 6 per cent with an average 100,000 new residents a year.
