Only about 5% of wastewater in Lebanon is actually treated, despite more than $1 billion in commitments and investment in the sector between 1992 and 2018. An assessment of 96 treatment plants found a combined installed capacity of 146 million cubic metres a year, but only 16.5 million cubic metres was actually treated. A report by the Court of Audit also said that most of the 42 municipal plants were out of service. The discussion attributed this gap to poor maintenance, insufficient funding for operations and fragmented responsibilities. It noted that upgrading 23 existing plants could raise treatment capacity to around 64 million cubic metres a year without building new facilities.
