Sewerage projects worth more than BD4.3 million are currently under way in the Northern Governorate. These projects aim to expand infrastructure services and address long-standing resident concerns in several communities.

The projects were outlined during Parliament’s session in response to a question raised by MP Hanan Fardan regarding infrastructure development in the Twelfth Constituency of the Northern Governorate.

According to the Ministry of Works, several sewerage projects have already been completed in recent years, including developments in areas of Malkiya and Sadad that connected dozens of properties to the main sewage network.

The ministry said current construction projects are valued at approximately BD4.37m and will serve hundreds of additional properties across a number of residential blocks.

Among the projects under way are sewer network expansions in Malkiya Block 1033, which will serve 174 properties, and Shahrakan Block 1044, which will serve 305 properties. Another project in Sadad will extend services to around 376 properties.

Officials also noted that additional projects are in the tendering and planning stages, including works expected to serve more than 1,200 properties in parts of Malkiya once implemented.

Despite the ongoing works, MPs highlighted concerns raised by residents about delays in completing sewerage networks, noting that thousands of homes in the area still rely on temporary solutions such as septic tank tankers.

Supporters of the projects say expanding the sewage network is essential for improving living conditions, protecting public health and ensuring that growing communities receive reliable infrastructure services.
