Iraq water pipeline project boosts supply in Erbil

The Iraq water pipeline project continues moving forward with fast progress. Officials confirmed that almost 90% of the work is now done. The project focuses on boosting Erbil’s water network in several busy and growing areas.

The first phase of the Iraq water pipeline project includes areas like Rashkin, Makhmour, Kirkuk, Koya Streets, and the new Mosul Road. These locations will soon receive stronger and more reliable water service. Work crews stay active across each zone to meet this goal.

In addition, the second phase has already started. Engineers are now placing large water pipelines across Erbil. Two pipes measure 1200 millimeters in diameter. Two more reach 1800 millimeters. These new pipes will carry more water with better pressure to homes and public buildings.

This development arrives at the right time. Erbil’s population keeps growing quickly. With hotter weather and expanding districts, water needs are rising. Because of this, the Iraq water pipeline project holds great importance for local services.

The project will give both direct and indirect water support. Direct support means clean water reaches homes faster. Indirect support helps the city manage reserves and pressure systems better. Both parts will improve overall supply and reduce service gaps.

Officials also explained that all pipelines run through key areas with older systems. Many old lines caused water loss or low flow in recent years. The new system uses modern materials and stronger pipe design. These improvements will cut down on leaks and system breaks.

Work crews continue at full speed, even during long, hot days. Traffic delays and technical problems appeared during some stages. However, teams moved quickly to solve those issues and keep on schedule.

Erbil residents should see major improvements once the Iraq water pipeline project finishes. The upgrades will support homes, schools, shops, and hospitals across the city. Better water means better daily life for thousands of people.

The city hopes this project inspires more development soon. Stronger infrastructure can lead to growth in health, safety, and investment. For now, the focus remains on completing every section on time and with full quality.
