With less than two months for the presidential election, the state utility Fenaka Corporation awarded Tuesday projects to establish sewerage services on 20 islands.
Contracts worth MVR866 million (US$56.2 million) for the installation of sewage wastewater removal networks were signed with Haycarb PLC, a Sri Lanka-based company that specialises in coconut shell-activated carbon production.
Haycarb will complete the projects within one and a half years, according to Fenaka.
According to the national water and sewerage policy, only 48 percent of the population had access to adequate sewerage networks with house connections by the end of 2016, up from 37 percent when the current administration took office in 2013.
