Amman, August 19 (Petra) – The Water Authority’s Internal Control
Unit uncovered and disconnected multiple illegal water line
connections across several regions on Wednesday.
Inspectors in Amman’s Umm al-Rasas area discovered a two-inch illegal
pipe tapped into a main supply line. The connection was being used to
divert water to nearby farms, homes, and storage reservoirs,
according to the Ministry of Water and Irrigation.
In the Quweira district in Aqaba, authorities detected and
disconnected 32 illegal water lines redirecting water to chalets,
farms, and residences. Authorities restored the affected networks and
documented the violations for legal proceedings.
The ministry warned that nationwide crackdowns will continue to
protect water resources, prevent unlawful usage, and ensure equitable
water distribution.
