Muscat: Nama Water Services has announced the full completion of a major water distribution project covering nine villages in Wadi Andam, Wilayat Al Mudhaibi, marking a significant step in strengthening water infrastructure and supporting growing urban and residential expansion in North Al Sharqiyah.

With construction works completed, Nama Water Services is currently conducting water quality inspections and sterilisation procedures to ensure the network meets the highest technical and health standards before delivery begins.

Engineer Awad bin Khamis Al-Shibli, the project manager, said the initiative reflects the company’s commitment to meeting the needs of communities in Wadi Andam. The project extended water distribution networks to nine villages, Al-Ghariyin, Al-Habat, Mahliya, Al-Aliya, Al-Washal, Sayh Al-Sarat, Al-Mazari’, Sayh Al-Budur, and Al-Falij, covering 1,180 household connections and benefiting around 6,000 residents. Pipe networks were installed across a span of 76 kilometres.

To boost system efficiency and ensure an uninterrupted water supply, the project included the expansion of the existing Khadra Bani Dafaa pumping station in Al-Habat, the construction of three fibreglass tanks (each with a 90-cubic-metre capacity), and the establishment of a new booster pumping station in Al-Washal village.

Engineer Al-Shibli noted that the project, which took 937 days to complete, also contributed significantly to the national economy, achieving RO 2 million in local added value. More than half a million riyals’ worth of work was awarded to small and medium enterprises, reinforcing their role in national development and major infrastructure projects.

He added that the project’s completion marks an important milestone in strengthening water networks in Al Mudhaibi and enhancing service quality for residents.
