Dubai (WAM): Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has recorded significant progress in the launch of a new water transmission line at a total length of 67km, covering several areas of Dubai including the Dubai-Al Ain road, Dubai bypass road, Doha Street, and the camel racetrack. Building on the framework of its strategic plan to increase the efficiency and reliability of water systems, the new water pipeline will enable DEWA to meet the growing demand and increased water flow volumes in the various areas in Dubai. "DEWA is moving forward in the implementation of development projects, particularly in infrastructure, as part of its vision to become a sustainable world-class utility, and to meet the expectations of customers to the highest standards of availability, reliability, efficiency, and safety," said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Managing Director '&' CEO of DEWA .

"The project includes water pipes with diameters of 600, 900, and 1,200 mm. Estimated at a total cost about Dh 360 million, the project will increase the water flow, so that the pipeline will meet increased demand for water in areas such as Dubailand, Al Khawaneej, the camel Racetrack, and Mirdif," commented Al Tayer.
