All that rain and snow last week wreaked havoc on the water distribution system here in Amman. The heavy rainfall and flooding decreased water quality levels and some pipes were swept away in the floods, and then, after it snowed, bulldozers used to clear the snow damaged some other water pipes. As a result, pumping from the water sources that supply Amman has been suspended for eight days now. We seem to have been affected by this issue, as our own tanks are much less full than usual. So, we've had to curtail our water usage. It's ironic I suppose: All that water means no water. You can read about it here in the Jordan Times. Wednesday is our usual water delivery day, so we hope to have enough in our tanks until then. We hope it comes then too.
