Red Sea Secretary-General Follows Up on Sewerage Connections Along Hurghada's Sheraton Road

Work to connect properties along Hurghada's Sheraton Road to the sewerage network is being followed up at governorate level, with the Red Sea Governorate's secretary-general checking on progress toward completion.

The follow-up was reported on 26 August by Sada El-Balad, which said the secretary-general was reviewing completion of the sewerage connection at Sheraton in Hurghada, and by Akhbar El-Youm, which carried the same inspection under the heading of following up on the sewerage connection on Sheraton Road.

Sheraton Road is one of Hurghada's main arteries — a long strip of hotels, apartment blocks, restaurants and shops running back from the seafront, and one of the parts of the city where residents and visitors are most densely mixed. Connecting buildings there to the mains network, rather than leaving them dependent on tanks and soakaways, is the sort of work that shows up later as fewer street-level leaks and less tanker traffic.

It is a recurring theme in the city. This site has reported on a sewage overflow behind Hurghada's 'Aka' blocks that drew immediate official action after a Facebook complaint, and on the restoration of direct water pumping in Star City, both from the same summer.

Neither report carries the figures that would show the scale of the job. There is no stated cost, no contractor named, no number of buildings or households being connected, and no completion date — so residents on the road have confirmation the work is being watched, but not when it ends.
