The sewerage system replacement involves the installation of a sewerage pumping station, junctions, integration of sewerage outflow, and related infrastructure works.
For the newly reclaimed area, the installation of water and sewerage systems includes two Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants, each with a capacity of 1,500 tonnes, and two 3,500-tonne water tanks. The project also covers the installation of water meters and outflow systems.
Both projects are being implemented by the Male’ Water and Sewerage Company (MWSC) and are expected to be completed within 571 days.
These developments mark a significant investment in Maafushi’s infrastructure, aimed at improving water supply, sanitation, and overall living conditions for residents.
