Prime Minister Sherif Ismail has ordered quick action to purge water outlets in Giza, particularly in the areas of Geziret el Dahab, Imbaba and el Fostat.

This should help solve the water cut and shortage problem until mega projects are implemented to better feed Giza governorate, Ismail said Monday.

The premier also ordered action to purge outlets of drinking water plants across Egypt, Cabinet spokesman Hossam el Qawish said.

Ismail said that plants should be regularly maintained.
