The completion of these tests will allow the contractor to move on to the commissioning phase during which the WWTP will be progressively brought into full operation; (ii) works on a number of infiltrations basins are currently under way to restore their infiltration capacity; and (iii) drilling and equipping of all recovery wells financed under the Project are expected to be completed by the end of 2017.
