Water pumping gradually resumes as turbidity falls at East Qantara plant

The Drinking Water and Sanitation Company for the Canal Governorates has announced a decline in turbidity near the intake serving the East Qantara and Gelbana water plant in Ismailia governorate.

The company said the improvement allows the plant to resume operating at its full production capacity.

Water pumping is returning gradually following the reduction in turbidity, which refers to cloudiness caused by suspended particles in the water.

The announcement did not specify when pumping would be fully restored across the areas served by the plant.
