Casablanca Hammam Owners Defy Water Conservation Measures, Remain Open

These owners of traditional public baths in the neighborhoods of Anfa, Ain Chock and Hay Hassani in Casablanca have decided to ignore these restrictions and open the doors of their establishments during the three prohibited days, according to sources at Hespress, fearing that this opposition to the decision to close the hammams may set an example.

Abderahmane El Hadrami, regional secretary of the public bath sector within the General Union of Enterprises and Professions, reiterated the willingness of professionals in the sector to dialogue with the local authorities in order to urgently find appropriate and viable solutions for water rationalization, while preserving the rights of workers.

To recall, the Wali of the Casablanca-Settat region, Mohamed Mhidia, took a decision prohibiting the activity of public baths and car washing on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays of each week, in order to rationalize water.
