This achievement comes as part of the company's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of water and environmental services and keep pace with the region's urban expansion, serving more than 20,000 new beneficiaries.

Project details in Buraidah and Ar Rass

The company explained that the completed works included the implementation of drinking water networks and pipelines in the city of Buraidah , with lengths exceeding 65 kilometers, targeting the Al-Yarmouk, Al-Rawabi, Al-Ghadir, and Al-Rawaq neighborhoods. Simultaneously, sewage networks and pipelines were implemented in Al-Rass , with lengths exceeding 40 kilometers, to serve the Al-Shananah and Industrial neighborhoods, reflecting a comprehensive plan to address both water and environmental needs simultaneously.

Strengthening infrastructure and keeping pace with Vision 2030

These projects are of paramount strategic importance as they directly contribute to achieving the goals of the Kingdom's Vision 2030 , specifically those related to the Quality of Life Program and the sustainability of water resources. The National Water Company operates according to a national strategy aimed at expanding the coverage of water and environmental services across all regions of the Kingdom, ensuring water security and promoting environmental protection through the safe disposal and treatment of wastewater.

Environmental and service impact of projects

The commissioning of these projects is expected to bring about a significant improvement in the level of services provided to residents of the Qassim region.
