Confirming this, NWC said is the first project to provide water security and meet the needs of the citizens in the city. Other projects are being created to meet the growing demand for water.
The company is currently launching the second phase of the city’s strategic storage with a capacity of 1 million cubic meters, which will be completed by the summer of next year. NWC said the first phase of storage amounts to 1.5 million cubic meters and the duration of the implementation will take 24 months in Breman, Jeddah.
