Dubai begins work on Dh620m water supply complex

Dubai: Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) has started constructing phases 4, 5 and 6 of a reservoir complex at Mushrif to meet the growing needs of the expanding city, according to Dewa CEO Saeed Al Tayer.

Costing around Dh620 million, the three phases will have combined capacity of 180 million gallons of water. This, he said, would boost Dewa's storage capacity from the present 235 million gallons to 415 million gallons by mid-2009.
