The Ministry of Works has connected 316 new residential and commercial properties to the sanitary water network across various governorates during the first half of 2023.
The ministry affirmed its commitment to continue expanding this essential service, keeping pace with the ongoing urban development.
Engineer Fathi Abdullah Al Farea, Assistant Undersecretary for Sanitary Engineering at the ministry, explained that the connection works were carried out in various residential complexes in all four governorates, including block 1209 in Hamad Town, block 1019 in Damistan area, block 210 in Muharraq, and block 912 in East Riffa.
He said that the ministry is simultaneously executing several sanitary water network projects, including the project in Hamad Town 1205, Wahat Al Muharraq and Wahat Qalali, Jari Al Shaikh 924, and in Sitra 609.
The ministry continues its efforts to connect properties to the sanitary water network as part of its strategy to provide this service, which contributes to enhancing public health and cleanliness while preventing health hazards that could arise from flooding of wastewater, by directing to the sewage network instead of septic tanks.
Individuals, private sector establishments, government entities, and non-governmental organisations interested in connecting residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to the sanitary water network can submit their applications through the ministry's website www.works.gov.bh.
