The local council in the Jdeidet Al Wadi area, with the support and funding of the civil society in the Damascus countryside governorate, has completed the implementation of a project to light the subsidiary streets of the villages of Ashrafieh, Jdeidet Al Wadi and Basimah on alternative energy, while an electrical transformer was installed in the main water pumping center in Basimah, which operates three wells out of six.
The head of the local council in Jdeidet al-Wadi, Ahmed Nasrallah, stated in a statement to SANA reporter that the existing cooperation between the council and the people has resulted in several service projects, including the installation of 50 alternative energy devices in the sub-streets of the villages of Ashrafieh, Jdeidet al-Wadi and Basimah, at a cost of 10 million pounds.
Nasrallah indicated that it was approved to implement a project to light the main streets of the aforementioned villages, and a contract was signed with the Syrian Company for Networks concerned with implementation at a cost of SYP 87 million, pending ratification to begin implementation.

Nasrallah stated that the area needs to install an electrical network to supply the entire area of Jdeidet Al-Wadi, because the current network feeds only 30% of the homes, pointing out that there are three projects for asphalting and asphalting the streets in Basima and Ain Al-Khadra, which will be initiated as soon as they are approved.
