Mayor Yavaş asked last term for the project to be implemented at the Tatlar Wastewater Treatment Plant, "Could this be built with the municipality's own budget?" Even if we allocated a certain amount from our budget, this place would be completed in 15 years. The people of Ankara cannot afford to wait 15 days, let alone 15 years. Nothing has been done regarding public health for 25 years. "The money obtained from ASKİ was spent on other fantastic projects of Ankara Metropolitan Municipality, and they did not allocate money for any projects such as increasing the treatment capacity of these places, building floodplains, separating rainwater and wastewater."
