A’ali Sewerage Project Ends 30-Year Wait for Residents

Northern Municipal Council member Abdulla Abdulhameed Ashoor said residents warmly received the project, particularly families living behind Al Ramli Mall, calling it a major breakthrough for the area.

The planned works will connect 232 properties across the two blocks through a new sewerage system, including main pipelines ranging from 200mm to 300mm in diameter with a total length of 5.3 kilometres, along with branch connections serving individual homes.

Ashoor thanked the Ministry of Works, Works Minister, and Works Affairs Under-Secretary Shaikh Mishaal bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, as well as the sanitary engineering teams for advancing the long-delayed project. He also highlighted the role of municipal coordination and previous council members in pushing the plan forward.

He said the new network would significantly improve infrastructure and reduce reliance on frequent sewage pumping and transport, while also addressing recurring overflow issues and pressure on soakaway systems.

For residents, the project marks the end of a decades-long service gap in a growing residential area, bringing long-awaited relief and improved living conditions.
