The people get water supply through eight distribution centers and water delivery trucks. Pipelines are under planning. A study has also revealed that the town would be able to get water supply for about 30 years without any difficulty. Although Dubarwa obtains these services and is close to the capital, it does not have telecommunications linkage with other parts of the country. Considering its vicinity to Asmara, it does not seem much of a difficulty to install the necessary equipment to provide telephone service.
Postal service is available.
The sub-region is also becoming increasingly a centre for investment in mineral exploration and industry. The area around Dubarwa is known for its potential of mineral deposits like gypsum and silver. The industrial sector is also booming. Factories producing pasta, biscuits, sponges, plastic etc. are running well. There is an intention to establish an aluminum producing plant at a capital of 54 million Nfa.
