Like organizations, the official organization was established very small and simple to be able to grant the needs of its time. Then, by civil development and population increase, this servicing unit developed and became the complex organization it is today.
The first center, called Miah, started to work in 1307 as a part of the Ministry in order to rent, take possession of the subterranean canals and their maintenance to provide drinking water. In 1320, its name changed to Dayereh Mirabi, and in 1328, this servicing center dug some wells in the area of underground water of Beytol Moghaddas and the Noghan quarter and installed a water distribution system and was able to cover some sections of the city. In 1337, the first fundamental plan to give water to the city started by digging 8 deep wells in Ghasem Abad and a store with the volume of 15000 cubic meters plus a 500 millimeter transfer line with the length of 19 kilometers, which was put into use after 5 years.
In 1342, the bureau of water providence and distribution was separated from the Ministry and formed an independent organization named “Water Organization of Mashhad” which was responsible for the city water providence and distribution. In 1356, Water Organization of Mashhad and the Irrigation department of Khorasan were mixed and became “Regional Water Company of Khorasan”.
After enforcing the law of establishment of civil water and waste water organizations, ratified in Dey 1369 by the Islamic Consultative Assembly, water and waste water organization of Khorasan was established in 1370 and finally in 1371, because of the amount of the work and the dispersion of the cities of the providence, water and waste water organization of Mashhad was established.
