Areas east of Haramain Rd to get a boost: NWC is developing a SAR 915 mn airport sewage lifting station with a capacity of 611k cubic meters per day to serve the areas east of Haramain Road. A SAR 774 mn, 14-km transmission line, called the Eastern Tunnel Project, is also in the works to convey wastewater from these areas to the lifting station, benefiting 1.1 mn people in 10 neighborhoods.

PLUS- Some drainage and sewage network expansion: Ten sewage line projects are underway in the neighborhoods of Al Waha, Ash Shati, Al Nahda, and Al Zahraa, alongside two surface water drainage projects in Bahra and Al Raya, Al Musaed, and Kilo 14, with a combined investment of over SAR 620 mn, covering over 238 km. Additionally, NWC is working on subsidiary sewage lines in Al Samer 1, 2, 3, and parts of Al Samer 4, spanning 17.8 km at a cost of over SAR 54 mn.

NWC has been busy: The NWC pledged to invest EUR 200 bn by 2030 in a comprehensive water cycle infrastructure across the Kingdom.
