In the Za’atari Refugee Camp, an extensive water supply and sewerage system is being constructed; its sheer scale is unparalleled in the world’s refugee camps.
When the construction is complete in 2018, as scheduled, drinking water will be supplied directly to each residence and waste water will be pumped from each residence to the sewage treatment plant built in the southern part of the camp.
This will eliminate tasks such as supply trucks daily refilling the water storage tanks and trucks having to pump up sewage from underground septic tanks.
Thus, significant cost and time savings will be made. With less traffic in the camp accidents will be reduced too.
JEN’s major roles are; deciding how the camp residents can best be involved in the project and monitoring the construction companies.
This is a large-scale construction project tackled by refugee camp residents, aid agencies, Jordanian construction companies and the local police all working together.
