İBB strengthened the inadequate infrastructure of Şile, which hosts visitors 20 times more than its population in the summer months, with huge investments. With an investment of 340 million, the district has acquired waste water, rain water and drinking water infrastructure. Speaking at the collective opening ceremony of the projects, IMM President Ekrem İmamoğluEmphasizing that they approach all regions of Istanbul equally and fairly, he said, “We do not separate any region of Istanbul from the other, for political reasons, with the approach of rewarding or punishing, and with the thought that it will bring me votes in the election. Such discrimination does not exist in our character, spirit or corporate culture. We do not have a distinction in our minds, such as projects that are not visible or that will attract the attention of the electorate. If there is a need, it is fixed, if there is a problem, it is solved. For us, it's that simple," he said.
Due to its high tourism potential, Şile's population, which was 41 thousand in the winter, reached 1 million in the summer, and the demand for water could not be met. In addition, 16 neighborhoods of the district did not have a sewer line, and the wastewater in the region flowed openly into the streams. İSKİ, a subsidiary of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB), completed the productions it started with an investment of 340 million in order to end this situation and meet the need.
“NO DISCRIMINATION IN OUR CHARACTER”
Speaking at the ceremony held at the 'Şile Ultrafiltration Memran Drinking Water Treatment Plant' for the commissioning of the projects, IMM President Ekrem İmamoğluHe said that they produced work and solutions under all conditions without surrendering to economic crisis, pandemic, energy crisis, legal or actual obstacles. Saying, “Our aim is to make Istanbul a fair city,” Mayor İmamoğlu said, “For this, we do two things while producing business, providing services and developing projects; We treat all social segments and all different identities equally and fairly. We approach all regions of Istanbul equally and fairly. We do not separate any part of Istanbul from the other for political reasons, with the approach of rewarding or punishing, and with the thought that it will bring me votes in the election. Such discrimination does not exist in our character, spirit or corporate culture. There is no distinction in our minds, such as 'projects that are visible – invisible, that will attract the attention of the electorate – that will not attract them'. If there is a need, it is fixed, if there is a problem, it is solved. For us, it's that simple," he said.
THE FIRST MEMBRANE FACILITY IN ISTANBUL
Stating that there is insufficient drinking water capacity in Şile, especially in the summer months, and that it does not have the most basic wastewater and rain water infrastructure, İmamoğlu said, “We have developed a project that will address these problems with a holistic approach and solve them permanently, and we completed it on time. The Treatment Plant, which will meet the increasing water needs of Şile in the summer months, is the first “Ultrafiltration Membrane Drinking Water Treatment Plant” in Istanbul. It is a valuable example with its highly effective, hygienic and modern purification technology.”
IT GENERATES 15 PERCENT OF THE ELECTRICITY IT NEEDS
Informing that he will produce 15 percent of the electricity he needs thanks to the solar energy panel on the roof of the facility, the IMM President said, “There are people who contributed and contributed to the construction of this facility, which reflects the values and approaches we attach great importance to, such as protecting the environment, increasing energy efficiency and avoiding waste. I thank everyone very much,” he said.
ISTANBUL'S HAPPINESS MEANS THE HAPPINESS OF THE COUNTRY
Informing that, within the framework of the project, wastewater and stormwater lines, stream improvement and cesspool productions were carried out in some neighborhoods, and openly flowing wastewater was taken into the system, İmamoğlu gave examples from the projects implemented in the district. Listing examples such as the renewal of the damaged road in Şile Saklıgöl, the opening of an İBB Coordination Center for the first time in Şile history, and the implementation of the “Şile Beekeeping Centre”, İmamoğlu said: “From now on, we will continue to work in harmony with Şile Municipality and the local dynamics here. we wish. We will definitely be a part of the service and solution. We promised, we continue on our way with the same determination. We strive to make our people happy. If we make our people happy, we will make Istanbul happy no matter where they live. The happiness of Istanbul means the happiness of our whole country. We all know that the happiness of Istanbul will reflect a special happiness not only in our country but also in the region that is really close to it.
WATER WILL FLOW FROM THE TAP
Speaking about the projects brought to Şile, İSKİ General Manager Şafak Başa stated that investments were made under three main headings and said: “With the productions we have carried out, we have ensured that the wastewater in the region is brought under control and delivered to the septic tank and treatment facilities. Again, in order to prevent flooding in this region, we have built rain water lines. Secondly, we built a drinking water network and transmission line in order to meet the drinking water needs in the Darlık, Kabakoz, Sahilköy, Ahmetli, Bozgoca, Geredeli, Göçe, Karabeyli, Ovacık, Karamandere, Kervansaray, Satmazlı, Üvezli, Karacaköy neighborhoods of Şile. . In addition, we renewed the irrigation lines that have completed their economic life in order to support agricultural irrigation in the region. The facility we opened today will purify 20 thousand cubic meters of water per day with ultrafiltration membrane technology. It will put an end to the water stress experienced in our Şile district, especially in the summer months. At the same time, it will make the people of Şile meet with a soft spring water. In Şile, we are happy to have met the needs of the region with drinking water and wastewater investments with a total current amount of 340 million liras.”
After the speeches, İmamoğlu cut the ribbon with the bureaucrats of the institution and the people of Şile and opened the facility to service. İmamoğlu, who toured the facility accompanied by İSKİ General Manager Şafak Başa, received information about the services that were activated.
