(MENAFN)The Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MEWA) in the recent phase of its reforming of regional water facilities under the umbrella of the National Water Co. (NWC), as part of the Kingdom’s wider privatization strategy.

Abdul Rahman Al-Fadli, minister of environment, water and agriculture, inaugurated the integration of the Western Cluster, around the Makkah district, and the Southern Cluster, including the Asir, Jazan, Najran, and Al-Baha districts.

The two clusters are going to be restructured under the NWC parent entity and are part of plans for all 13 regions in the Kingdom to be included into six clusters that will operate under centralized management.

This step follows when the NWC succeeded in integrating the districts in the north into the Northwestern Cluster in November, without any disruption to service. The long-term plan is to have the water distribution sector fully integrated by the end of the year.
