The Western Region Municipality has launched a campaign to remove satellite dishes from buildings that have been illegally or improperly installed.
Members of the public in Madinat Zayed, Liwa, Al Marfa', Al Silaa and Delma, are asked to take down dishes that affect the overall appearance and landscape of the community, reported Al Ittihad, the Arabic language sister paper of The National.
“When mounting satellite dishes, one must conform with the following requirements: the cost of mounting a satellite dish must be covered by the owner, satellite dishes are to be mounted on building roofs and in backyards, the number of satellite dishes must not exceed 4 based on a central satellite system, dishes must be mounted on the central part of the roof, far from the edge so as not to affect the general appearance,” said Hamad Salem Al Hamili, head of Public Relations and Communication at the Municipality of the Western Region.
