Water Authority aims to address Sheikh Radwan Pool sanitation issues
The Palestinian Water Fund, in coordination with the Coastal Municipalities Water Authority and international partners, is implementing urgent interventions at Sheikh Rdan Pool in Gaza Strip to simulate and reduce the risks of wastewater contamination. The pool, which holds approximately 500,000 cubic meters of water and is constructed to collect and drain rainwater, has suffered damage to its sewage facilities. This has led to wastewater reaching the pool, increasing the risk of pollution and flooding as the rainy season approaches. As part of the response, two pumps out of six have been reactivated, and one of two generators has been serviced, with some pumps being shut off to limit the entry of wastewater. Additionally, a project has been prepared to rehabilitate the pumping station and water lines at a cost of nearly $500,000, funded by the European Union and implemented by UNICEF, aiming to reduce pollution, protect the population and the environment, and restore the pool’s capacity to drain water effectively.
