Saudi water reuse under review

  • Saudi Arabia: Monday, December 10 - 2007 at 17:16

Regulation of the Saudi water reuse system following privatisation, which is now getting under way, may be vested in the kingdom's existing power and water regulator, Saudi Arabia's Deputy Water & Electricity Minister Loay al-Musallam told MEED's Wastewater Treatment & Reuse 2007 conference in Abu Dhabi.

"We don't have a regulator for water reuse," Al-Musallam said. "We have two options: use the existing water and power regulator or set up a new one."

The existing regulator is the Electricity Co-generation Regulatory Authority (ECRA). It was set up to regulate private and privatized power and water plants.

Al-Musallam said that water reuse plans call for the privatisation of the operation and ownership of existing sewage systems in Jeddah, Medina, Riyadh and the Dammam/Al-Khobar conurbation.
