After touring parts of the project, the Prime Minister expressed his gratitude to the implementing company, Hemin Group, and its owner Khalid Khushnawi, saying that this project provides an important service to Erbil and the Kurdistan Region. He noted that the work had been carried out very successfully and completed within a limited timeframe.
The Prime Minister added that all those who had previously visited the site believed the project would take three years to complete, but it was fortunately finished in a much shorter period. He emphasized that all work was done with domestic capacity, using advanced technology to ensure the quality of the water.
The total cost of the project amounts to 480 million US dollars. The first phase was inaugurated in July of this year, with a capacity to supply 480,000 cubic meters of water per day.
