Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture has launched the privatization of the sanitation sector through three new projects, Mohammed Bin Ahmed Al-Muwakkili, deputy minister for water services and chief executive of the National Water Co., said in a statement.

 

The projects include the sanitation stations of Jeddah Airport II, Western Dammam, and the network of Turaif, Arar, and Sakakah, he said.

 

The ministry has signed an agreement with an international consortium specialized in tender documents of sanitation treatment plants.

 

The consortium is led by Japan’s Mizuho Bank and includes international law firm White & Case LLP and global technical consultant Atkins.

 

The ministry will first launch the sewage treatment plant (STP) of Jeddah Airport II, with a designed capacity of up to 500,000 cubic meters, Al-Muwakkili said.
