Inspection teams from the Ministry of Water and Irrigation/Water Authority of Jordan (WAJ) detected 5 cases of illegal water pipeline tapping in Al-Samak area in Amman's Na'ur district.

The illegal fixtures, measuring 1 and 2-inch diameter, were used to supply poultry farms, homes, and collection wells.

This crackdown was part of the ministry's campaign to stiffen control over Jordan's water resources. The illegal connections were removed, and official reports were filed to initiate legal action against the perpetrators.

According to a ministry statement issued Tuesday, an illegal well was also discovered in Ain Al-Deek area in Jerash governorate.

Authorities removed the violation, confiscated drilling equipment and filed official reports, as investigation is ongoing into the incident.

On their joint future vision, the statement said the ministry and the WAJ will continue their efforts to firmly monitor Jordan's water resources to achieve deterrence goals.
