NWC to Implement Water Projects in Makkah at SAR 1.6 Billion

The National Water Company (NWC), represented by the Western Cluster, announced that it has started implementing water supply projects in Makkah at a cost of more than SAR 1.6 billion. These projects are part of NWC’s strategies to develop the infrastructure of the water and environment sectors and increase the coverage rates in cities and governorates.
 The company explained that the projects would serve about 3 million beneficiaries annually. This would be done through the implementation of projects to replace the main transmission lines of drinking water in the third ring road for the first and second phases. These include the implementation of main water lines with lengths of about 29 kilometers to serve 16 districts in Makkah, namely Ajiad 1 and 2, Al-Hajj Street, Al-Hamra, Al-Andalus, Al-Aziziyah, Batha Quraysh, Al-Khaleej, Al-Kawashk, King Fahd Neighborhood, Al-Maghmas, Al-Nozha, Al-Nawariyah, Al-Rashidiyah, Al-Salama, and Al-Zaher, in addition to supplying the Masar Destination project.
 The company explained that the projects aim to keep pace with the water needs in Makkah, increase operational efficiency in light of the increase in the number of visitors and pilgrims, in addition to serving the pilgrims and Umrah visitors during the Ramadan and Hajj seasons, and expanding the implementation of future water projects.
 NWC emphasized that these projects are part of a broader initiative recently launched across various regions of the Kingdom. Once completed, these projects will enhance the infrastructure of the water and environmental sectors, ensuring continued operational efficiency and improving the quality of services provided to customers.
