The secretary inspected the 33-million-gallon-per-day (MGD) Eastern Wastewater Treatment Plant, being constructed with the cooperation of Denmark and the 30-MGD Surface Water Treatment Plant Phase-II, being developed with French cooperation.<br \/>\nNoor-ul-Amin Mengal directed the authorities concerned to ensure that all construction and allied works linked with both projects were completed within the stipulated deadlines.The provincial secretary said the two projects would play a significant role in improving Faisalabad\u2019s water supply system and would help provide clean drinking water to a large section of the city\u2019s population.<br \/>\nHe said a 25-MGD Surface Water Treatment Plant was also being constructed, while an additional five million gallons of water per day would be added to the system through the expansion of the Jhal Water Treatment Plant.The secretary further said that the combined capacity of the two major projects stood at 63 MGD, which would facilitate the provision of clean drinking water to more than 1.3 million citizens.<br \/>\nDuring the visit, Chinese experts working on the projects briefed the secretary on the progress of construction activities and various technical aspects.
