Agriculture, water committee to address water shortages in Mafraq, Jerash

Amman, June 29 (Petra) – The Lower House (LH) Agriculture and Water
Committee called on Monday for faster implementation of water
projects and stronger infrastructure to address persistent supply
challenges across the Kingdom.

Lawmakers said that water security remains a national priority and
urged improved management of water resources, quicker responses to
public complaints, and accelerated project delivery.

The committee reviewed complaints from residents in Mafraq and Jerash
over water shortages and intermittent supply.

Water Authority of Jordan’s (WAJ) Secretary General Sufyan Bataineh
said the Ministry of Water and Irrigation is directly addressing the
issues in Mafraq and expects them to be resolved this week.

He added that the ministry has dedicated a hotline for water service
complaints to ensure faster response and follow-up.
