SUEZ: General Mohamed Abdel Monem Hashem, Governor of Suez governorate, said the government would discuss the construction of a new potable water line with the Ministry of Irrigation and Housing. The line would extend from Tenth of Ramadan City in Sharqia governorate to Suez. Hashem said rumors about a water line from Cairo to Suez were misled and that the line was connected to companies in Ain el-Sokhna on the Rea Sea coast. "The current potable water situation is good," said Hesham, who said that the water table is the highest it has been in recent years.
