Residents of some affected buildings in areas like Abu Shagara, Rolla and Al Majaz, areas most affected by water shortage, have demanded an end to their miseries caused by the acute water shortage over the past four days.
However, a SEWA official told Khaleej Times that some areas will face disruption in supply of water during the next two days because maintenance works were being carried out in the desalination plant.
The water supply will be from 5.30am to 10.30am and from 5.30pm to 10.30pm over the next couple of days, he pointed out.
Meanwhile, Mohammed Khalifa bin Tarish, director-general of SEWA Water Directorate has assured the residents there won't be water scarcity this summer as new projects worth Dh40mn will ensure improved networks and better water supply in all parts of Sharjah. He said the projects include the laying of a new four- kilometre distribution line from the main water desalination plant in Alliah area to feed areas between Al Jubail and Al Fisht.
“This line has been completed in two phases and will be operational during the next week,” he added.
The official said SEWA has also installed equipment to monitor water pressure in the network.
“This equipment will notify the control room about water shortage in any area and the department personnel will tackle the problem immediately,” he added.
Bin Tarish also pointed out that Dh40mn Halwan Dam with a capacity of15 million gallons would supply water to Sharjah during peak hours.
“This is in addition to the old dam which has a capacity of storing 5mn gallons per day,” he explained.
