Parliament yesterday approved, as a matter of urgency, a plan to connect piped water to 30 homes in Block 1012 in Hamala.
The decision directs the authorities to bring the block onto the mains as soon as possible, with priority for households with children and older people.
Residents there have no public water supply, though streets about one kilometre away already have water, power and sewerage.
Proposers say the short distance makes the link a straightforward job.
Without a mains feed, families must hire private firms to refill storage tanks, adding costs many young households cannot carry on top of loans and spent savings.
The proposal was tabled by MPs Dr Muneer Seroor, Khalid Buanaq, Lulwa Al Rumaihi, Jalal Kadhem and Mohammed Al Ahmed.
