King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz ordered the construction of a water purification station to preserve the properties of Zamzam water, along with a filling station, transportation lines, control and monitoring systems, automatic storage, and other facilities in 1427 AH. Since King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Suad (may Allah protect him) came to office, he was keen to keep this project going.
