Ashghal projects to link thousands of households to sewage network

The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has awarded three projects worth QR140mn to connect thousands of households to the sewage network during 2024-2027. In a video, posted by Ashghal on X, the Drainage Networks Projects Department director engineer Khalid Saif al-Khayareen said these projects will cater to households in the southern, central and northern parts of Qatar.

During 2022-2023 projects worth QR120mn were implemented to connect houses and other buildings to the sewage network. The official explained about 2,000 connections to the sewage network are implemented annually.

The House Connections Section at Ashghal continues to connect citizens’ subdivisions to the sewage network and upgrade existing connections in various areas of Qatar. Engineer Ali al-Anzi, head of the House Connections Section, explained the services have been simplified. Individuals, companies, and government entities may submit a request to connect their properties or facilities to the Foul Sewer Network. The application can be submitted through the Ashghal website.

The connection allows wastewater to be removed from the property and treated at an Ashghal Sewage Treatment Plant, according to information from the Ashghal website.
