The members of the Southern Municipal District Council voted by majority to transfer the responsibility for withdrawing rain water from the inner streets in the fourth district to the Ministry of Works, instead of the Ministry of Municipalities. The representative of the fourth district, Mohamed Al -Daraj, explained that he submitted this proposal after consulting with the people The tanks without restrictions, as well as pumps and cadres specialized in water drainage operations. The cyclist confirmed that the continuous rotation of the municipal employees at the same site for more than 15 years contributed to an accurate knowledge of the nature of the region, warning that the transfer of employees may lead to poor familiarity with the aspects of the department and the impact of this on the services provided. With regard to rainwater gathering sites, the cyclist explained that it amounts to 18 sites within the fourth district, pointing to The municipality has only 6 tanks to cover ten departments in the southern governorate, which raises the question about its ability to respond immediately in the event of heavy rains. He emphasized that the fourth circle needs more than 18 tanks to ensure that its needs are covered during the rainy season, explaining that each tank needs to pass the same site several times, which requires about ten hours of intensive work for each suction unit. The municipality, Al -Daraj stressed that their numbers are not sufficient, as only one inspector oversees the third and fourth circles.
