The project includes the construction of 130 kilometers of water distribution pipelines, the establishment of 15 public fountains to bring drinking water closer to citizens, as well as the creation of four water storage tanks and the construction of a water basin equipped with two pumping stations. The development projects will benefit the localities of Sidi Hajjaj, Mani, Ras Al Ain, and Ouled Shabana.
This significant initiative is financed by the General Directorate of Local Authorities under the Ministry of Interior, with implementation entrusted to the Regional Agency for Project Execution in the Casablanca-Settat region, at a total budget of 3,940,426,800 dirhams over 12 months.
