Water Ministry urges preventative measures amid inclement weather

AMMAN — In light of the inclement weather conditions expected over the upcoming days, the Ministry of Water and Irrigation on Thursday urged the public to protect their water meters by covering them with warm material to ensure they will not be damaged if temperatures fall below 0°C.  

The ministry also urged the public to make use of rainwater instead of connecting rainwater gutters to sewage networks in order to avoid clogging, which leads to flooding. 

The ministry also invited the public to contact the ministry by calling 117116 to file any complaints.
