About
Wastewater Management
Under its wastewater management component, CSP is collaborating with the Ministry of Energy and Water (MoEW), regional water establishments (RWEs), the Litani River Authority (LRA), municipalities, and local communities to design and implement interventions that mitigate pollution resulting from the discharge of untreated domestic and industrial wastewater.
CSP is focusing primarily on the construction or rehabilitation of wastewater facilities to ensure that they have the appropriate technology to manage domestic wastewater output. CSP is also collaborating with the Association of Lebanese Industrialists to incentivize private industries to install environmentally friendly equipment and implement processes that mitigate their wastewater pollution.

CSP is offering a rebate program to encourage and incentivize the installation of industrial wastewater pretreatment equipment to protect the environment and promote sustainable industrial practices in compliance with all applicable Environmental Limit Values issued by the Ministry of Environment.
Program Coverage
- Wastewater Management Assessments: Assisting industries in undergoing wastewater management assessments to identify technologies and practices that can improve wastewater treatment and suggest possible wastewater treatment equipment suppliers.
- Reimbursement for Capital Investment: Reimbursing 80% of the capital investment for acquiring machinery and equipment for wastewater management, up to a ceiling of $45,000, once the project is completed and the installed system is compliant with environmental regulations.

Aaitanit Treatment Plant Rehabilitation and Sludge Management Upgrade
In collaboration with the Bekaa Water Establishment and Al Buhaira Municipal Union, USAID’s CSP will rehabilitate the Aaitanit wastewater treatment plant and upgrade its sludge management process. This activity benefits 27,000 residents, and supports the villages of Aaitanit, Baaloul, El Qaraoun, and Machghara.
Status Under Implementation
The Industrial Wastewater Treatment Project (IWT)
Through a $150,000 grant awarded to the Association of Lebanese Industrialists, USAID’s CSP will support Lebanese industries willing to invest in proper onsite industrial wastewater treatment. Within this intervention, CSP will implement a rebate program to partially reimburse partner industries for the costs incurred in mitigating their industrial wastewater pollution.
