The project is being co-financed through a 41.3-million-euro
loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (
EBRD) and a
30-million-euro grant from the European Union.
The facility will be designed and built by the Arab Towers
Contracting Company, while CDM Smith Europe will serve as the project's
technical supervisor for $1.24 million provided under a grant from the EBRD.
The plant will have a daily treatment capacity of 24,750
cubic meters and will be fed by wastewater tankers which will no longer offload
at the Ain Ghazal
treatment plant in Amman.
By reducing traffic and odors in the Ain Ghazal area, the
project is expected to improve the region's environmental conditions and lessen
the "biological load" on the Khirbet Al-Samra wastewater treatment
facility, according to a ministry statement.
