Amman, Oct. 12 (Petra) - Authorities busted six illegal water connections in south Amman on Monday during a joint crackdown led by the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, Miyahuna, the Ministry of Interior, and the Public Security Directorate (PSD).
Five of the violations were uncovered in the Umm Al-Walid area, where illegal lines were diverting public water to supply private farms and fill commercial water tankers, according to officials.
Enforcement teams severed the unauthorized connections, restored normal operating conditions, and filed official violation reports.
In East Dheibeh, officials shut down a sixth illegal connection diverting water to a private farm and home, with legal action now underway against the offenders.
