Boukhalef was inaugurated in 2015 and uses biological treatment, filtration then disinfection, with the output reused for irrigation; most of Tangier's remaining sewage is pretreated at the port and discharged through a marine outfall 2.2 km offshore. Coordinates are the OpenStreetMap wastewater plant in the Tangier free zone at Gueznaia, the Boukhalef site, given to two decimals because the feature is unnamed.
