Aden

Local Corporation for Water & Sanitation services

Aden Local Corporation for Water and Sanitation (Aden LC) is responsible for providing water and sanitation services to Aden city and its surrounding areas, serving a population of approximately 1.2 million as of 2022. The LC supplies water to 95% of the population through an extensive distribution network, although water availability per person remains limited, averaging between 80 and 100 liters per day. Groundwater, known for its good quality, is the sole source of water. The sanitation services cover specific areas, utilizing three treatment plants that currently discharge treated wastewater into the sea due to infrastructure damage and insufficient maintenance, highlighting the urgent need for rehabilitation to ensure environmental sustainability and public health.
