Utility transformation

Veolia Middle East and its Saudi partner, Alkhorayef Water and Power Technology provide management, operation, and maintenance of water and wastewater services to nine million people in the capital Riyadh and 22 surrounding governorates.

This seven year contract was launched by The National Water Company (NWC), as part of the Saudi National Water Strategy (NWS 2030) aiming to restructure the water and wastewater management sector.

The contract aims to improve levels of service and operational performance for:
