WSC Ta’ Cenc project will cost around €500,000 and take a year to complete

A Water Services Corporation project to connect the two major reservoirs at Ta’ Cenc in Gozo, is planned to take about a year to complete and the estimated cost is around €500,000, said Minister for Environment, Energy and Enterprise Miriam Dalli.

The Minister was replying to a Parliamentary Question by Opposition MP Chris Said, who had asked what the work would involve, the cost and the timeframe for completion.

Minister Dalli said that this project is intended to integrate the two main reservoirs of Gozo. Its main objective is for the consumer to enjoy a better quality of water, to facilitate the mixing of water in the reservoirs, as well as to strengthen the water pressure throughout Gozo.

The project was announced in October ^[1], when WSC explained that the connection would be made via a 400mm diameter main.

The Corporation said that the project will also lead to Gozo having a “simpler to manage, singular water quality zone, which ensures that a good and homogeneous blend of potable water reaches all Gozitan customers.”
