Developing the water infrastructure in Medina with 60 million
The National Water Company announced a major strategic achievement: the water infrastructure project in Madinah, with a total cost of SAR 60 million. This vital project aims to bring about a qualitative leap in the efficiency of water supply and provide advanced services that meet the needs of visitors and residents, in line with the objectives of the Quality of Life Program, one of the most important programs of the Kingdom's Vision 2030. The project included the implementation of integrated construction and engineering works to ensure the sustainability of water resources, meet the growing needs of the residents and visitors of Madinah, and enhance the operational capabilities of the water system in the region as a whole.
The development journey in the water sector and serving the pilgrims
Historically, the city of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has received meticulous attention in providing fresh water sources, from ancient springs to modern desalination and pumping stations. Today, this project complements this blessed tradition. With the increasing number of visitors to the Prophet's Mosque each year, it has become essential to modernize the water networks to keep pace with this growth. Providing safe and sustainable drinking water is not merely a basic service, but rather an extension of the exceptional care that the Kingdom's government bestows upon the pilgrims, ensuring their comfort and safety during their stay in the Holy Land.
Operational efficiency and enhanced pumping stability
The project directly aims to stabilize water pressure and increase water flow to neighborhoods in western Medina. Work has been completed to connect the southern reservoir system to the public network, which will positively impact services for visitors to the Prophet's Mosque, accommodation facilities, the Miqat Mosque, and the surrounding area. The engineering work included laying 10 kilometers of transmission lines, forming a vital artery that supplies new urban expansions and ensures efficient service delivery to all targeted sectors in the area, thus reducing interruptions and guaranteeing continuous pumping.
Expanding the service to include strategic neighborhoods
This massive project serves over 137,000 beneficiaries across several strategic neighborhoods and districts, including Al-Aziziyah, Al-Qaswa, Urwah, Abu Buraiqa, Al-Duaitha, Hamra Al-Asad, and Al-Miqat. In addition, the project covers vital logistics areas such as the industrial zone, Al-Hijrah Road, Dhi Al-Halifah, and Jamawat Umm Khalid. The project also addresses the needs of the Al-Hasa and Abu Markha districts and the housing complexes, reflecting the comprehensiveness of the company's expansion plan to cover all residential and industrial developments and support the infrastructure for future development projects.
Strategic dimensions of the water infrastructure project in Madinah
The National Water Company confirmed that this project contributes to increasing the efficiency of water flows and ensuring water sustainability in urban developments west of the city, while improving customer experience through stable pressure and guaranteed 24/7 water access. Locally, the project contributes to raising the level of public health and quality of life for residents. Regionally and internationally, enhancing essential services in a city of global religious significance reflects the Kingdom's ability to efficiently and effectively manage crowds of millions. This step is part of the company's efforts to modernize the water sector in line with the Kingdom's Vision 2030, aiming to improve service quality, meet the demands of rapid population growth, and support the local economy by providing an attractive environment for tourism and real estate investments.
