Utility Delay Leaves 40 Ras Hayyan Families Waiting

Residents of Block 963 have appealed to the relevant authorities to urgently address the delay, saying the absence of basic utility services has prevented dozens of families from settling into their new homes.

According to homeowners, construction of the houses was completed some time ago, while several infrastructure projects in the area, including road paving and electricity substations, have also been finished.

However, residents said the delay stems from the incomplete elevation of road levels in the area, which has prevented the installation of cables needed to connect electricity and water services to the homes.

The prolonged wait has placed a growing financial burden on affected families. Many homeowners said they continue to pay monthly rent while also meeting loan repayments or construction instalments for houses they cannot occupy.

Residents said the ongoing uncertainty has made the situation increasingly difficult, with no clear timeline for when utility connections will be completed.

The homeowners have called on the authorities to intervene without further delay to resolve the issue. They also urged officials to consider temporary measures that would allow electricity and water to be connected until the remaining infrastructure work is finished, enabling families to finally move into their long-completed homes.
