The Water Ministry, in cooperation with the Public Security Directorate (PSD), on Wednesday detected new water theft cases in Um Ammad area in southern Amman.
The ministry said its teams removed illegal fixtures on residential waterlines and referred the cases to the concerned authorities to finish investigation and apprehend the violators.
The attacks siphoned off hundreds of cubic metres of drinking water on a daily basis to irrigate green houses and fill ponds, the ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
The ministry also valued citizens’ cooperation, which enabled its teams to discover theft incidents countrywide, which saved a huge quantity of water.
