Over 300 Million Dirhams Mobilized for Liquid Sanitation Project in Aït Amira and Sidi Bibi
More than 300 million dirhams have been mobilized for the first phase of the liquid sanitation project in the municipalities of Aït Amira and Sidi Bibi, a significant infrastructure project that is poised to reach a decisive stage.
The latest follow-up meeting was held at the provincial headquarters, presided over by Governor Mohamed Salem Sebti. Around the table were representatives from the Souss-Massa Multiservice Regional Company, ONEE’s Water Division, technical staff, the presidents of both municipalities, and local authority representatives.
The Souss-Massa Multiservice Company presented a detailed report on the progress of technical studies and ongoing preparations, highlighting the measures taken to expedite project execution. This included the scheduling of tenders and monitoring of the technical and financial aspects of its various components. Company representatives emphasized that this project is one of the strategic initiatives aimed at modernizing the sanitation sector and supporting the urban growth experienced by the two municipalities.
Discussions also focused on preparations for launching the tender related to the main transfer pipe, which will connect the Aït Amira pumping station to that of Sidi Bibi, and then to the purification station in the El Mzar area of the Inzegane-Aït Melloul prefecture— a key component of the project.
Two obstacles remain to be addressed before actual work can commence: regularizing land use for the sites designated for the pumping stations and securing the necessary funding to cover the sanitation networks, connection pipes, pumping and treatment stations, as well as ancillary technical structures.
This project is part of a multi-institutional partnership framework. Provincial authorities are closely monitoring it, viewing it as a tangible lever to enhance basic infrastructure, bolster the area’s attractiveness, and maintain environmental and health conditions for residents, all in line with the urban development dynamics the region is experiencing.
