In a press statement on Wednesday, the Ministry of Water and Irrigation explained that the campaign uncovered the breaking of air relief valves on the Disi conveyor and the extraction of thousands of cubic meters of water to fill illegal tankers for sale. Meanwhile, technical teams are continuing efforts to rectify the situation without halting the water supply.
In Al-Husseinieh, seven violations were detected involving illegal pipeline connections used to operate water sprayers, in cooperation with the Governor of Ma'an, the Director of the Southern Badia, and relevant authorities.
