Amman, Oct. 11 (Petra) - Pumping from the Disi Water Conveyance Project is suspended after severe weather triggered widespread technical failures across southern and eastern Jordan, stakeholders announced.
The shutdown will "directly" cause delays and adjustments to scheduled water distribution across several Amman neighborhoods on Saturday and Sunday, the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, the Water Authority of Jordan (WAJ), Jordan Water Company (Miyahuna), and the Disi Water Company (DIWACO) said in a statement.
The statement added that engineering and technical crews are working around the clock to repair the damaged infrastructure, restore well operations, and return pumping to full capacity.
Once repairs are complete, scheduled delivery will resume according to each area's assigned rotation.
Water authorities urged affected Jordanians to cooperate and understand the current hiatus during the emergency outage as technicians work to restore normal service.
