The National Water Company (NWC) initiated 14 water and sanitation projects across Hail, with a total investment exceeding SAR 1.2 bn, as part of its efforts to expand service coverage and meet rising demand, it said in a statement.

The scope covers 12 water infrastructure projects valued at over SAR 1 bn, including over 1.3 km of pipelines and two pumping stations with a combined capacity of nearly 4k cubic meters per day. It also includes two environmental projects worth over SAR 134 mn that comprise more than 153 km of sewage networks and pumping stations with a total capacity of over 23k cubic meters per day.

Last year, the NWC pledged to invest EUR 200 bn by 2030 in a comprehensive water cycle infrastructure across the Kingdom.
