MOROCCO: Wastewater from new Safi sewage treatment plant to be reused

A partnership agreement has just been signed between the OCP Group (former Cherifian Phosphate Office), the Autonomous Water and Electricity Distribution Company (Radees) and the Oum Er Rbia Hydraulic Basin Agency (Abhoer) in Morocco. The contract concerns the construction of a wastewater treatment plant in Safi, whose treated wastewater will be reused.

This will save and preserve surface water resources. Besides, the Cherifian Phosphate Office (OCP), which employs more than 20,000 people, includes the project in the framework of its “Circular Economy Programme”. The aim of this environmentally friendly policy is to supply its plants from unconventional water resources such as wastewater treatment plants and desalination plants.
