Oman's Nama Water Services has announced the launch of commercial operation at its temporary Al Ghubrah station, which has a total capacity of 20,000 cu m per day.
The project aims to guarantee the continuity of water supply to citizens and resident subscribers, said a statement from Nama.
The Omani water services company said commercial operations at the temporary Al Ghubrah station will continue for another five years until the completion of work on the Al Ghubrah Station Phase III.
According to Nama, the construction work on the project is in its initial phase.
"The operation of the temporary Al Ghubrah station comes with the aim of supporting the currently existing station, and covering the current increasing water needs in Muscat Governorate during peak water demand," said Engineer Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Nuaimi, the CEO of Operations and Maintenance at Nama Water Services.
"This comes within the framework of the company's keenness to ensure water security by developing the required infrastructure and thus keep pace with urban expansion, whether at the level of residential, commercial or governmental facilities," he added.
The Al Ghubrah Station 3 is an independent station from Al Ghubrah Station (2).
Engineer Mohammed bin Marhoon Al Hinai, the Head of the Automation Systems and Precision Devices Department, stressed the operational readiness of the station, which operates on a reverse osmosis method, according to the planned capacity.
According to him, Nama Water has been providing its services to more than 4 million people through water distribution, wastewater collection, transportation, treatment, disposal, and treated water supply.
"Its total subscriber base for water and wastewater networks now stands at more than 896 subscribers," stated Al Hinai.
Nama is achieving a steady increase in water production to keep pace with population growth and the increasing demand for water, said the top official.
"Its drinking water production capacity surged to more than 444 million cu m in 2022, up 4% over the previous year," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
