Construction of the largest water-purifying unit in Aral area will be completed in Urgench soon. The station will supply the local population with 100,000 cubic metres of potable water a day.

"Reconstruction and expansion of water-purifying units in Urgench" project was developed by the Uzbek governmental in cooperation with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

The object is being built on the right bank of a large irrigation canal Shavat dividing the city into two parts. The disinfected pure water with high pressure in pipeline will be supplied to consumers on the existing extensive network of Tuyamuyun-Urgench conduit.

The importance of this unit is rather high in the region, where is shortage in potable water. It includes water intake facilities, horizontal and four radial separating tanks with 38 metres diameter each, a reservoir of pure water with pump station, filter, reagent, chlorination substations and other objects.

Nearly US$11 million have been allocated for implementation of the project. Virtually the whole amount of funds has been used. The last of 19,000 cubic metres of monolithic reinforced concrete on sulphate-resistant cement are being laid at the hydro construction.
