Authorities bust water theft network in Ain Al Basha

Amman, July 13 (Petra) – The Water Authority of Jordan (WAJ)
uncovered illegal connections to main water supply lines during an
inspection campaign in the Ain Al Basha area, the Ministry of Water
and Irrigation said Monday.

The operation revealed unauthorized connections diverting water to a
residential complex and a storage tank, along with illegal tanker
filling and tampered water meters aimed at siphoning water off the
grid.

Crews disconnected the illegal lines, restored the mains, and filed
formal incident reports. Legal proceedings have been initiated
against the violators under national water protection laws, according
to the ministry.
