Irbid, Aug. 18 (Petra) — Water Authority Projects Director Madin
Al-Rababah confirmed Tuesday that work on the wastewater network
project in the areas of Kufr Yuba and Soom will commence in
mid-September, following the completion of necessary coordination and
arrangements among relevant authorities.

The announcement came during a meeting held Tuesday by Mohammad Ali
Al-Qudah, head of the West Irbid Municipality Committee, with
Al-Rababah; the project’s contractor, Yousef Al-Tarawneh of Ahmad
Yousef Al-Tarawneh & Partner Contracting Company; and Mohammad
Al-Harsh, representing the supervising consultancy firm Engicon,
along with several engineers following a field tour of project sites.

Al-Qudah underscored the importance of establishing a clear
operational plan detailing work phases, execution sites, sequencing,
and timelines for each stage. He also called for a structured
mechanism to handle main roads and congested neighborhoods to
complete works on schedule while minimizing disruption to residents.

He stressed the necessity of limiting excavation distances,
completing works, backfilling, and resurfacing progressively while
adhering to approved technical specifications.

For his part, Al-Tarawneh affirmed the contracting firm’s readiness
to execute the project in phased stages, ensuring that specified
sites are completed and backfilled according to technical standards
before moving on to new locations.

Al-Qudah noted that prior and continuous coordination among the
municipality, the Water Authority, the contractor, and the consultant
remains a critical factor for the project’s success, particularly
regarding traffic flow, pedestrian movement, and street
rehabilitation.

Al-Qudah commended the Ministry of Water and Irrigation and the Water
Authority for implementing the project, which aims to address
environmental and health issues in Kufr Yuba and Soom and curb open
wastewater hazards affecting local residents.
