On 7 February 2012 MACC handed over Contract 1 (supply of equipment and materials) of the Gaza Central Sewerage Project to the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility, with a final contract value of EUR 8,328,608.

Under Contract 1 of the KfW-funded Emergency Works Programme, MACC procured, shipped, stored and delivered to site all the imported equipment and special materials for the upgrade of the Sheikh Ajleen (Gaza Central) Wastewater Treatment Plant to 90,000 m³/day. The supply included inlet screens and grit-removal equipment, trickling-filter equipment and media, lagoon desludging equipment, instrumentation and control panels, a standby generator, and the cement, reinforcing steel, structural steel and roofing for the civil works. The supply was let separately from the civil works because of restrictions on goods entering Gaza.

The equipment was installed and tested under Contract 2, which MACC also delivered for CMWU under the supervision of Dorsch International Consultants.
