That's the free market capitalist wet dream right there, Dubai. Who needs state sponsored public utilities like sewage systems when the private sector does such an efficient job of providing their own water and their own waste water removal.
The lack of proper plumbing infastructure there has nothing to do with the Arabs. Dubai is the epitome of the real estate bubble in that the majority of it has been built over the last ten years in a frenzy by hedge fund managers, derivatives traders and huge multi-national construction firms all looking to cash in on the real estate market. Why would they give a fuck about a sewage system? They got their money while the getting was good and got the fuck out.
