Clearford Secures Maldives Water Contract

Clearford Industries has secured a $40m contract from Upper South Utilities (USUL) of the Republic of Maldives to build a sewerage infrastructure in the country.

Under the agreement, the Canada-based company will design and implement water projects using its SBS wastewater collection and treatment process to collect and treat sewage for unserviced islands.

The agreement gives Clearford the right to work with USUL for six months to secure finance from international banks for the projects, with payment fully guaranteed by the Maldives Government.

USUL provides water and sewerage services to the islands in the Upper South Province. The utility has placed a priority on sewerage projects on 15 islands in the region.
