Ammon News - Ministry of Water and Irrigation, in cooperation with relevant authorities, conducted a campaign in the Southern Shuna district and detected 14 illegal connections to the main 6-inch water pipeline supplying Al-Rama area.
The illegal connections, each with a 1-inch diameter, involved fixtures to siphon off water illegally.
In a statement issued Tuesday, the ministry said the attacks illegally stole water to supply farms and chalets to fill ponds, which diverted "large quantities of water from citizens' allocated drinking water quotas." After detecting and removing the illegal connections, the ministry stated the necessary reports were prepared for referral to the relevant authorities to take legal action against the violators.
Announcing the continued crackdown across most regions, the ministry expressed its appreciation for the cooperation of the Ministry of Interior, the Public Security Directorate, security agencies, and citizens in combating water theft incidents.
