Amman:Teams from the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, in collaboration with the Miyahuna Company and the Public Security Directorate (PSD), have dismantled four illegal taps on major water transmission lines in the Al-Lubban area, located south of Amman. This operation took place on Wednesday.
According to Jordan News Agency, these illegal activities involved the diversion of water to nearby farms and selling it through water tankers. Following the discovery of these violations, maintenance crews were dispatched immediately to repair the affected parts of the pipeline network.
In addition to dismantling the illegal taps, ministry inspection teams also conducted a related enforcement action, intercepting a drilling rig that was operating an unauthorized well in the Al-Khadhra area, also south of Amman. A second rig was seized at the site, along with equipment, oxygen cylinders, pumps, and tools. Official reports of the violations were filed by the authorities.
