===Sewage===
Until 2009, Ar'arat an-Naqab's sewage either went through an old purification facility, or into one of several pools that were created in the 1980s and currently pose an environmental hazard. As a result of the construction and expansion of the Nevatim Airbase, the Israel Air Force invested in the purification facility, making it modern and sufficient for the needs of the village as well as the airbase.
