Dubai: The Jebel Ali sewage treatment plant is now 40 per cent completed and is due for final completion in 2010.
It will take over as Dubai's main sewage treatment plant from the Al Aweer plant.
Hussain Nasser Lootah, Acting Director General, Dubai Municipality, said: "The project forms part of the civic body's strategic plans to protect environment, public health and safety and increase the percentage of areas linked with the city's main drainage network to 100 per cent as well as reduce the percentage of sewage water transported by heavy tankers to just five per cent by 2011."
