Operation and maintenance started

In early December 2020 MACC started the operation and maintenance phase of the Central Gaza Wastewater Treatment Plant at Buriej, which treats about 60,000 m³/day of wastewater for CMWU under the KfW-funded Contract 1.

MACC started the operation and maintenance phase of the Central Gaza Wastewater Treatment Plant (GCWWTP) in early December 2020. The plant, on the eastern edge of the Gaza Strip at Buriej, produces about 60,000 m³ of treated water per day.

The plant was taken over in August 2020 after MACC built it under Contract 1 of the KfW-funded Gaza Central Wastewater Project for the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility, with Dorsch International Consultants as supervising engineer. The contract includes two years of operation assistance after taking over.

During this phase MACC operates and maintains the activated-sludge process, the anaerobic digesters and biogas CHP generators, the belt-press dewatering and the Wadi Gaza Central Pumping Station, while CMWU's operating staff take on the plant.
