Authorities in Fès have launched two large-scale infrastructure projects worth more than 300 million dirhams to protect the city from flooding and upgrade its wastewater management system.
The initiative was unveiled Thursday by Abdelghani Sabbar, acting governor of the Fès prefecture, in the presence of local officials and elected representatives.
The first project, costing 200 million dirhams for its initial phase, involves construction of the main Oued Fès collector, including four kilometers of deep sewer galleries.
Once completed, it will divert 90 percent of wastewater currently flowing under the UNESCO-listed medina, safeguarding its historic fabric and eliminating the reliance on the Doukkarat pumping station.
A second project, budgeted at 151 million dirhams, will build the Miyet and Himmer collectors, extending eight kilometers, to reinforce the sewage network in the city’s southern districts.
Officials said these works aim to protect residents, strengthen urban infrastructure, and reduce territorial disparities.
