The National Water Company (NWC) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has completed a major infrastructure project to replace and upgrade old water lines in northern Riyadh, significantly improving water distribution efficiency and service reliability.
The project cost over $18.67 million (SR 70 million) and included the replacement of several outdated water lines with modern, high-capacity pipelines, totaling more than 17,000 meters in length. The initiative aims to enhance network durability, reduce water losses, and ensure more stable and efficient water distribution to residents across northern Riyadh.
NWC pointed out that this project is part of an integrated strategic plan to implement a series of water infrastructure projects aimed at increasing the efficiency and reliability of its pipelines and networks, while also expanding service coverage across northern Riyadh and surrounding areas.
These efforts align with the company’s broader objectives of enhancing quality of life, upgrading service standards, and strengthening water security, particularly amid the comprehensive urban renaissance currently taking place in the capital, Riyadh.
NWC indicated that it is continuing its efforts at an accelerated pace to implement projects that strengthen the infrastructure of the water and environmental sectors and enhance the efficiency of operational processes, in order to meet the growing demand for water. The company reaffirmed its commitment to achieving its strategic goals in line with the highest quality standards, ensuring the successful execution of projects and the realization of its desired objectives.
