The National Water Company announced the completion of a vital wastewater network project in Al-Ghat Governorate, Riyadh Region, reflecting its commitment to developing the Kingdom's water and environmental infrastructure. This project, costing over 23 million riyals, represents a significant addition to the governorate's environmental services system, keeping pace with rapid urban expansion and population growth.
A developmental context that aligns with the Kingdom's Vision 2030
This achievement comes as part of the National Water Strategy, which the company is implementing to increase sanitation coverage across the Kingdom. These projects are a cornerstone in achieving the goals of Vision 2030, which prioritizes quality of life and environmental sustainability. The National Water Company is working at an accelerated pace to bridge the gap in environmental services, contributing to improved public health and protecting the environment from pollution caused by leaks or reliance on traditional sanitation methods.

Sustainable environmental and economic impact
The importance of this project extends beyond mere service provision to encompass significant environmental and economic dimensions. Environmentally, connecting properties to the public sewage network eliminates the environmental damage caused by overflowing septic tanks and foul odors, thus mitigating visual pollution and protecting groundwater from contamination. Economically, the availability of a comprehensive sewage infrastructure increases property values in the served areas and enhances the governorate's attractiveness for investment and residence, thereby contributing to a higher quality of life.
