Aqaba's largest water thief apprehended
A comprehensive security campaign was carried out in Aqaba to address acts of vandalism targeting the main water pipelines, which were causing the illegal extraction of large quantities of water, amounting to approximately 3,500 cubic meters daily. The campaign resulted in the apprehension of 19 violations against main conveyance lines and illegal water filling activities intended for sale to factories, hotels, and companies. This was done by disconnecting pipelines of various diameters and installing pumps to facilitate unauthorized sales. One offender was detained, and financial documents regulating the sales operations were seized. Procedures have begun to disconnect the illegal lines and restore proper operations. The authorities emphasized the continuation of these campaigns to ensure water access for citizens, reaffirming that water theft is a crime threatening water security and social stability. They also urged citizens to report any misconduct to help protect water rights.
