The component covers the rehabilitation of Adra Wastewater Treatment Plant to restore its operational capacity of 485,000 m3 per day in order to serve around 2.2 million people in Damascus; implementing agency the Ministry of Energy, Water Resources Directorate; total operation cost and financing US$150 million as an IDA grant; estimated appraisal 23 March 2026 and estimated approval 23 April 2026. The document also records that over half of water infrastructure and 70 percent of wastewater treatment plants are inoperable. Budget left blank because the US$150 million covers four components and not this plant alone. Coordinates left blank: no source opened names a plant feature. The document implies the plant is not delivering its capacity but never states that it is stopped, so current condition is not established. Coordinates are the OpenStreetMap wastewater plant tagged محطة تكرير المياه at Adra in Rif Dimashq, given to two decimals because the feature carries only a generic name.
