The Red Sea Drinking Water and Wastewater Company says it has started round-the-clock direct pumping of drinking water in the Mubarak 13 housing area north of Hurghada.
The company's head, Bahaa Abdel Moneim, inspected the system on site and told staff to deal immediately with any technical faults, according to a statement issued on Thursday.
Connection work continues on the blocks in neighbouring Mubarak 12. The company expects that area to be fully on direct pumping by the end of next week, dropping the rota system there.
Networks in the Al-Fairouz housing area, also north of Hurghada, are still being upgraded. The company says it is working through a plan to move more Hurghada districts to a 24-hour supply and scrap the rota system under which water is delivered in turns.
