Al-Dreeb indicated a sharp decline in level of water services. "Water supply is currently classified in the category of severe need due to the decrease in proportion of beneficiaries to 30%," he explained. He noted that the decline in the pumping of water supplies means more burdens on citizens due to the high cost of commercial water supplies. "The costs of providing water has doubled, resulting in heavy losses for institutions, in light of the increasing difficulties in paying the costs to their minimum limits."

 

The deputy director of distribution at the Public Water Corporation in Capital Municipality, Ahmed Al-Mutahar, explained that main water pumping station in the municipality is currently operating 60 wells out of 330 wells due to the blockade. He pointed out that unsafe withdrawal of the organizations financing the operations of the main pumping station in Municipality exacerbated the decline in level of service.
