KUWAIT: Eighty percent of the work on the Agialah sewage plant is complete, said a Ministry of Public Works (MPW) official on Saturday. Khalid Al-Khazzi, the MPW's Deputy Assistant for Sewage Engineering, further revealed that additional amendments to the original plan for the project are set to delay the opening date by an extra three months. The project's total cost is estimated at KD 30 million, said Al-Khazzi, adding that the amendments were ordered following the recent breakdown at the Mishref sewage plant.
 
Al-Khazzi explained that the Agialah plant will serve the Ahmadi and Mubarak Al-Kabeer governorates, as well as the Sabah Al-Salem area, which was previously served by the Mishref plant, reported Al-Qabas. A total of 16 minor sewage plants are set to be decommissioned when the Agialah plant goes into operation, the MPW official explained.
