AMMAN —
Ajloun residents are complaining
about the lack of drinking water and the long periods they have to wait for
water to reach them, which sometimes extends to weeks, and when it does, it is
only pumped for few hours, reported to Jo24.

People say that the water shortage is due to the
increase in demand and the dwindling amount of water from its sources during
the summer, which forces them to buy water despite the higher prices.
They called on the concerned authorities to take
action, and distribute the water in fair quantities.
Director of Yarmouk Water Company Montaser Al-Momani
told the Jordan News Agency, Petra, that citizens’ complaints and demands will
be followed up on, and that water supply will improve.
He said that the budget from the Ajloun Governorate
Council for the water sector during 2023 amounts to JD1.1 million, distributed
among four projects, including a project to restoring the situation to normal
after the excavations which are currently taking place at a value of JD150,000,
and rehabilitating and connecting water networks at a value of JD150,000.
At the same time, JD300,000 will be allocated to
connect people to the water network, JD300,000 for the sewage network in
various areas of Ajloun, and JD50,000 for a project to purchase water meters.
Huge projects in the water sector will be
implemented in the governorate at a cost of about JD83 million, including JD64
million for the implementation of the sewage project in the Al-Junaid area, and
JD6 million for the water carrier from after the Kafranja Dam to Al-Qaeda area
in Anjara, in addition to projects to address problems in the water sector, he
said.
