The plant, which will be put into service within the year with an investment of 400 million liras, will also treat the wastewater of industrial establishments in the region.
The Izmir Metropolitan Municipality İZSU General Directorate, which sets an example for Turkey with its number, capacity and quality of treatment plants at European standards, continues its work to protect the Küçük Menderes Basin. Having put the Torbalı Advanced Biological Wastewater Treatment Plant, whose capacity was increased with an investment of 450 million liras, into service in January, İZSU also continues its capacity increase work at the Torbalı Ayrancılar-Yazıbaşı Wastewater Treatment Plant. The wastewater of industrial establishments will also be treated in the plant, which will be completed at a cost of 400 million liras, and the capacity of the plant will increase from 7 thousand cubic meters per day to 25 thousand cubic meters. Simultaneously with the construction of additional units, the sewer and transmission lines in the region are also being renewed.
Torbalı will have a cleaner environment
Stating that Ayrancılar-Yazıbaşı Advanced Biological Wastewater Treatment Plant treats the domestic wastewater of Yazıbaşı, Ayrancılar, Kuşçuburun and surrounding settlements, İZSU General Manager Gürkan Erdoğan said, “We increased the capacity of our plant, which has been in service since 2009, due to the population growth over the years. When the project we have carried out with an eye on 2040 is completed, the region will breathe. Thanks to the investments we have made in Torbalı one after another, we aim to minimize the pollution sources in Küçük Menderes. As İZSU General Directorate, we have recently put the Torbalı Advanced Biological Wastewater Treatment Plant, the second largest treatment plant in İzmir, into operation. With the investments we have made, Torbalı will have a cleaner environment and will be one step closer to the goal of a ‘sustainable environment’.”
