Sanitation coverage in Yemen's western city of Hodeida is low, with only around one-half of its 420,000-strong population connected to the network. Parts of the city's wastewater system have collapsed or become blocked, necessitating the use of above-ground sewage lines. The project will carry out the following:
- replacement 15-km of main sewer lines;
- installation of 230 solid manhole covers to prevent sand intrusion;
- rehabilitation of three pumping stations, including new power systems and standby generators.
