Khaberni - Yarmouk Water Company announced that the strategic water project in Ajloun Governorate is expected to be operational before the summer of 2026, providing the governorate with an additional 350 cubic meters of water per hour from Kafranjeh Dam, as part of efforts to improve water supply and face challenges during peak periods.
This was stated during an inspection tour by Osama Al-Muhaisen, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Yarmouk Water Company, to the Water Department of Ajloun Governorate, to review the water reality in the governorate and plans for dealing with the upcoming summer season.
Al-Muhaisen listened to a briefing presented by Malik Al-Rashdan, the Director of Ajloun Governorate Water Department, who explained that the governorate experienced a difficult summer due to low rainfall, which led to a more than 45% decrease in the productivity of internal water sources, noting that the combined efforts of technical and operational staff helped overcome challenges and ensure the continuity of supply.
Dalal Aliweh, Director of Planning and Projects Department, also provided a briefing about the strategic project, stating that the transmission line has been completed, while the completion of the pumping stations and main reservoir remains, in preparation for the project's operation before the summer of 2026.
In a related context, Al-Muhaisen and Al-Amayreh met with Nayef Al-Hadaiat, Governor of Ajloun, where they reviewed the company’s projects, plans, and programs aimed at improving water supply and reducing water loss, through an integrated system of short and long-term projects.
Al-Muhaisen emphasized the company’s commitment to enhance the water quantities allocated to Ajloun Governorate and reduce the water rotation, in line with national directions to improve the level of services provided to citizens.
The tour concluded with a meeting with the contractors and consultants responsible for implementing the projects, where the importance of adhering to the timelines and technical specifications was emphasized, before inspecting a number of projects implemented in the governorate, including the Kafranjeh Dam project funded by a grant from the US government, and a project to replace meters, alongside the call to expedite the drilling of new wells to enhance the water system.
