JLT Lake D community updates
DMCC has begun planned enhancement works at JLT’s Lake D.
As part of our long-term investment in public spaces and community infrastructure, the lake is being temporarily drained to enable essential maintenance, a full clean lakebed, and measures that improve water quality and overall aesthetics. Works will be delivered in a carefully managed, phased approach, with a focus on minimising disruption.
Latest updates
Drainage progress
Controlled drainage is underway; water levels are lowering in stages under strict health, safety and environmental protocols. Pumps and site controls are in place to ensure a smooth and safe process.
Community measures
Temporary wayfinding and safety signage will be installed around the community, with pedestrian access maintained where possible with marked diversions. Odour-neutralising treatments and pest-control measures will be applied in line with Dubai Municipality guidance.
Maintenance activity
Lakebed deep clean is ongoing to enhance water quality and lake aesthetics. Dust and noise are being actively managed during daytime working hours.
What’s next
Lake D will continue to be drained in phases, followed by a full lakebed clean and essential maintenance. Regular updates will be shared through official DMCC and JLT channels and community notice boards.
