This is analogous to "public works," which is usually translated (correctly, I think) as

If the expression \"Water and Sewage Enterprises\" refers to the entities themselves, then you can call them
مؤسسات أو شركات
If the context supports the sense of \"projects,\" then I would use
مشاريع أو أعمال أو أشغال
الأشغال العامة

Workshops or (UK English ) Works
Greetings... taHaiya Tayyiba wa b3ad.. تحية طيبة وبعد
Yaa halla biljemaa3... يا هلا بالجماع
Hiyaakum Allah jamii3aan... حياكم الله جميعا
Based on the good discussion of option meanings for this term (absent whether "Works is part of that firm's formal name), a generic term used for "workshop(s)' or in UK English "works") =
singular: mishgil مشغل
plural: meshaaghil مشاغل
The Arabic term for the firm's formal name might be rendered as (as recalled from my times in Jordan):
meshaaghil (name of owner/firm) for water purification and treatment, thusly:
مشاغل فلان لتنقية الماء
Hope this helps.
Khair, in sha' Allah.
