The National Water Company (NWC) is Saudi Arabia’s state-owned water utility. In 2026, it remains responsible for urban water distribution, wastewater collection and treatment, and customer service across the Kingdom’s cities and regions.

Overview

Established in 2008, NWC was created as part of the Saudi government’s strategy to corporatize and professionalize the management of water services. Saudi Arabia is one of the most water-scarce countries in the world, relying heavily on desalination for potable water supply. NWC manages the “last mile” distribution of water from desalination plants and groundwater sources to homes, businesses, and institutions.
