Muscat: The Public Services Regulatory Authority is spearheading transformative projects across Oman to modernize the water and sanitation sector, aligning with Oman Vision 2040’s goal of sustainable infrastructure expansion.

Complementing this, sanitation service subscribers are expected to grow by 30 percent, supported by projects costing RO 48.1 million.

Eng. Saud bin Nasser Al-Shaidhani, Acting Director of the Public Services Regulation Authority, highlighted efforts to reduce water network losses, which could save approximately RO 660,000 by 2027. He emphasized the importance of aligning with Oman Vision 2040 by enhancing resource efficiency and sustainability.

Al-Shaidhani also noted ongoing work to improve service speed, with plans to halve the average water delivery time from four days to two days by 2027, ensuring quicker and more reliable access for subscribers.

Additionally, Namaa Dhofar Services aims to boost treated water utilization from 50 percent (10.55 million cubic meters annually) to 62 percent (13 million cubic meters annually). This increase will support industrial and agricultural activities and promote awareness of treated water as a sustainable resource.
