MACC hands over the Al Amal and Al Sattar reservoirs and pumping stations in Khan Younis

MACC has handed over two 5,000 m³ water reservoirs, three booster pumping stations and 9,540 m of carrier lines in the Al Amal and Al Sattar areas of Khan Younis, funded by the European Union.

On 4 April 2019 MACC handed over the Al Amal and Al Sattar water reservoirs, booster pumping stations and carrier lines in Khan Younis. The project will serve residents of the Al Amal and Al Sattar neighbourhoods and part of the Bani Suhaila area.

The contract (EuropeAid/137-778) was awarded by the Palestinian Ministry of Finance with European Union funding and supervised by CMWU. It comprises two reinforced-concrete reservoirs of 5,000 m³ each, an Al Amal booster station with four 200 m³/h pumps, two booster stations for the Al Sattar reservoir with three 250 m³/h pumps each, and 9,540 m of UPVC carrier lines from 110 to 355 mm.

The new facilities allow groundwater to be blended with desalinated seawater before distribution. MACC also electrified several existing water facilities and relocated and upgraded a 70 m³/h municipal well.
