Al Buraimi: Nama Water Services continues to implement a number of vital projects in Al Buraimi Governorate as part of its efforts to ensure water service sustainability and water security. These initiatives include the development of new water networks and the rehabilitation of existing ones.
Water network coverage in the governorate, previously implemented, has reached 60%. Currently, the company is executing six water network projects in new residential plans and areas across the governorate this year. These include Al Ghuraifa (Phase 2), part of the Northern Al Uqda plan, as well as several projects in Hafeet and Al Sunainah.
The total length of new networks implemented in these projects is approximately 20 kilometres, at a cost of OMR247,000 with an estimated 250 connections benefiting up to 12,000 subscribers. The completion rate has reached around 40%, with Al Ghuraifa expected to achieve 100% water network coverage by the end of this year.
As part of its efforts to rehabilitate existing networks, Nama Water has carried out projects in several areas of Al Buraimi Governorate, including Khadra Al Nadi, Sa’ara, and part of Hamasa village. The total length of networks under rehabilitation is about 50,000 metres of varying diameters, with the rehabilitation work currently 25% complete.
These projects aim to reduce operational water losses resulting from technical and operational challenges associated with aging networks. Additionally, they seek to enhance service quality by supplying water through new infrastructure that complies with local and international standards for drinking water materials, which are continuously updated and monitored.
