Water Ministry busts illegal water line taps in Amman, Aqaba

Amman, Sept. 9 (Petra) – The Ministry of Water and Irrigation cracked
down on multiple illegal connections tapping main supply pipelines
across southern Amman and Aqaba on Wednesday.

Inspection teams uncovered a 2-inch illegal line in Dhuheibah and
four illegal connections in Tur Al-Hashash in south of Amman.

Crews also dismantled 13 illegal taps in Quweira, Aqaba, which were
diverting water to private farms and homes.

Technical squads repaired the damaged mainlines and removed all
unauthorized taps, the ministry said. Official violation reports have
been filed to initiate legal proceedings against the offenders.
