Background
Urban areas in some of the southern part of the Greater Amman Municipality
are developing faster than WAJ’s ability to connect them by gravity to the
existing Greater Amman Wastewater Treatment Plant (As-Samra WWTP).
The project study covers wastewater collection, treatment and effluent
reuse from communities that drain south toward the Wala Wadi. This
includes the urban areas of Um Qusier, Al Muqablein, Khreibt Al Suq, Sahab,
Juwyydeh, Jawa, Yaduda, Abu Alanda, Queismeh, and the rural areas in the
watershed, such as Jiza & Talbiyah, whose future development will be
affected by the industrialization and nearness to the Queen Alia
International Airport.
Objectives
The objectives of the study are:
• Improving the existing wastewater situation in the communities South of
Amman.
• Protecting the water resources in the Wala Wadi
• Improving the standard of health and living conditions.
Project Description
• South Wastewater Treatment Plant (Jiza and Talbiya)
Design Capacity =2,300 m3/day.
• Irrigation and Reuse Systems
Project Status
The Detailed Final Design of the wastewater collection, treatment plants
and reuse of wastewater for Jiza and Talbiya had been completed by the end
of 1999. The Italian Government has financed Jiza and Talbiya wastewater
treatment plant while necessary networks where financed by Low Income
Areas Program Loans and by HKJ.
Estimated Cost
The total cost of the project is estimated at JD8.0 million.
