Water Ministry busts illegal water diversions in Amman

Amman, August 12 (Petra) - The Ministry of Water and Irrigation’s Internal Control Unit uncovered three illegal water line diversions in Amman's Al-Samik on Wednesday.

Violators tapped into two-inch and one-inch pipelines to illegally supply water to large farms, storage pools, and collection wells, according to the ministry.

Inspection teams removed the illegal fixtures and documented the violations to prepare legal proceedings against the perpetrators.

The crackdown is part of an ongoing national campaign to protect water resources and curb unauthorized usage.
