Khaberni - The teams and groups of the Greater Ajloun Municipality dealt with a number of observations and complaints during the unstable weather condition and the depression affecting the kingdom, including issues reported to the main and subsidiary operations rooms spread across the municipality's areas since Thursday.
The acting head of the municipality committee, Mohammad Al-Qudah, said that the municipality handled several reports and complaints about rainwater invading homes and rising water levels in some streets, in addition to the complete or partial closure of some roads due to the accumulation of dust, gravel, and silt that obstructed vehicle movement.
Al-Qudah explained that in coordination with the main operations room in the governorate, the Directorate of Public Works, and the Joint Services Council, the field teams installed water barriers to prevent it from reaching homes in low-lying areas, and the machinery worked on clearing the roads and removing all obstacles that the water had dragged into the streets in various areas.
He continued, stating that the field teams dealt with cases of blockage in some of the water drainage manholes, and used specialized equipment to suction water from the streets to maintain normal traffic flow, especially in front of Ajloun University College and the surroundings of Al Iman Government Hospital.
He indicated that all area directors were instructed to monitor trouble spots and address them with technically appropriate solutions as soon as possible.
The municipality urged residents not to hesitate to contact the operations rooms for assistance in case of any emergencies through the numbers previously announced by the municipality.
