Alrabiah said the facility would provide water to factories
in the city and negate the need for water tankers.
He pointed out that the project was a benchmark in the
establishment of model cities.
He added that the project formed one of the strategic
objectives of Modon and would improve services in the city.
Mohamed Bin Salem Alruhaili, CEO of Tawzia, the company that
developed the project, explained the stages of the project implementation and
all steps taken by the International Water Distribution Company.
The project represents the first phase of a round-the-clock
water supply to all factories. Currently, water is pumped to a range of
factories as part of the first and second phase of the project, as well as to
the residential area in the industrial city.
It is anticipated that water tankers will no longer be required
by the middle of next year. Water services have been provided to 130 buildings.
Upon completion, the project is expected to provide water equal to the quantity
carried by 30,000 water tankers per month.
Sanitation services and a treatment plant, considered to be
the most advanced in the Kingdom, are available in the industrial city.
It uses a treatment process in which water is produced at a
very high quality, similar to drinking water. This treated water, which is not
used for human consumption, is reused in the industry, significantly reducing
consumption.
