Work resumes on Male’-Hulhumale’ water interconnection network

Male’ Water and Sewerage Company (MWSC) has resumed work on the Male’-Hulhumale’ water interconnection network – after a years-long stall in the project.

At the inauguration of practical works on Male’ transfer pumpstations on Tuesday morning, MWSC’s managing director Abdul Matheen Mohamed said that the project – which launched in 2016 – had been stalled since 2018.

Matheen said that a pipeline for the transfer pump station was installed at the Sinamale’ Bridge when it was built, but that the pipes were never connected.

He described it as an important project.

Matheen said that once the project is done, the MWSC will be able to supply 800 tons of water hourly to Male’ and Hulhumale’. He said that it will also ensure the safety of the water system.

He said that the construction of the transfer pump stations will be done within this year.
