In the Amriya branch, to develop mechanisms to link the production of the Kilo 40 station with the sales releases of the Amriya branch, with the aim of discovering the amount of wasted water by measuring and controlling the rates of loss and leakage.

His Excellency stated that: “The Alexandria Water Company, as a state institution, is following the path of the senior political leadership by committing to protect Alexandria’s rights to the waters of the Nile River by seeking to reduce the amounts of wasted water on the one hand, and recovering the state’s dues by controlling the collection of sold water debts on the other hand.” "Other."

The head of the Southern Region Production and Distribution Sector issued a statement detailing the total daily production of drinking water from the southern stations (Kilometer 40 - Al-Zohour Station - Mariout 1), which is estimated at about one million cubic meters / day, explaining that it serves all subscribers in the branches (Mariout - New Noubaria - Amriya - Burj Al Arab).
He showed on the map that there are 6 water lines feeding the areas of Banjar, King, and Mariout. They are: the Libyan line, the Yasser Zaghloul line, the Abdul Qader feeding line with a diameter of 700 mm, the petrochemical line with a diameter of 1000 mm, the feeding line for the village of Abu Masoud with a diameter of 500 mm, and the free zone feeding line coming out of the kilometer 40 station. The diameter is 1000 mm, so the total water coming out of the networks to feed Amriya daily becomes about 400,000 m3/day.

In (4) villages belonging to the Amriya region. The Director General of Hydraulic Analysis proposed installing electromagnetic meters to measure the water supply to the areas of Mariout, Al-King, and Al-Banjar to accurately determine the causes, areas, and quantities of leakage.

Accordingly, the meeting resulted in the adoption of the formation of a five-member committee from the departments of control, follow-up, revenue, stealth, production, distribution, and hydraulic analysis, to count the amount of wasted water from the feeding point to the exit point, and to calculate the value of the water sold and collect it. The focus in the first stage is on the areas of Mariout, Banjar, and King.

The recommendations included implementing the instructions of Engineer Ahmed Jaber on the necessity of defining the administrative boundaries of the Amriya branch and enumerating the areas outside the framework of those limits in order to increase the amount of water sold in the Amriya branch and clarifying the correct amount of water consumed to adjust the accounts and determine the amount of loss, which is supposed to not exceed 20%. of sales; In addition to the necessity of coding and identifying groups.
