National Water Company completes North Riyadh water pipeline project for 81 million

In a move to enhance the efficiency of the water infrastructure in the Saudi capital, the National Water Company officially announced the completion of a strategic project to replace water lines in northern Riyadh. This project, with a total cost exceeding 81 million Saudi riyals , reflects the significant investment the Kingdom is making in the water sector to ensure its sustainability and quality.

Project details and scope of service

The company explained in its statement that the project included replacing over 18,000 linear meters . This project was carefully planned to serve vital, rapidly growing areas, specifically the Banban Center and Al-Aarid neighborhood in northern Riyadh. This upgrade aims to improve the network's operational efficiency and ensure that water reaches consumers at appropriate pressure and high quality, in accordance with approved international standards.

Keeping pace with urban expansion north of Riyadh

This project is of particular importance given its geographical context; the northern Riyadh region is experiencing unprecedented urban and population growth. Neighborhoods like Al-Aridh are attracting increasing population density and massive real estate developments. Therefore, replacing old pipelines or upgrading the existing network is no longer an option but an urgent necessity to meet the growing demand for water, prevent any potential outages or leaks that could affect service efficiency, and contribute to conserving water resources and reducing losses.

Enhancing water security and the Kingdom's Vision 2030

This project is inseparable from the overall context of the Kingdom's strategic objectives; it is an integral part of the Kingdom's Vision 2030 , which prioritize "quality of life" and "water security." The National Water Company operates within an integrated system aimed at:

• Increase the coverage rates of water and sanitation services.
• Improving the operational efficiency of water services.
• Enhancing environmental sustainability by reducing water waste in networks.

This achievement confirms the company’s commitment to developing the infrastructure of the water and environmental sectors, which supports the comprehensive urban development that Riyadh is experiencing, and achieves well-being for citizens and residents.

Continuation of development projects

The National Water Company concluded its announcement by affirming its continued and accelerated efforts to implement a range of other water and environmental projects. The company emphasized its commitment to the highest standards of quality and safety in executing these projects, ensuring the achievement of desired objectives and keeping pace with the future aspirations of the water sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
