The National Water Company (NWC), which operates the King Abdullah Zamzam Water Project, said it is ready to double daily production to meet demand during Ramadhan. Project Director Saeed bin Misfer Alwadei told local media that the NWC had produced 46 million bottles of Zamzam water up until last month. The demand during Ramadhan would be met by increasing daily production by 50 per cent, to cover requirements at the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque during the period, he said.
He said production plans were in place before Ramadhan. “All operational aspects including production, maintenance, filtration, pumping and distribution were stepped up to meet demand. The number of service providers increased by 120 per cent, and the customer services department was activated.”
