The Beirut and Mount Lebanon Water Corporation issued the following statement:
“The Beirut and Mount Lebanon Water Corporation announces that the heavy rains in recent days have led to a significant increase in the turbidity rate in most of the springs that constitute the main sources for the pumping stations, forcing the Corporation to stop the operation of the pumping stations and adopt a new and temporary rationing program, until the turbidity rate in the springs decreases and is completed.” The Corporation’s work teams carry out refining work on the pumps, after which water can be redistributed immediately and as quickly as possible according to the usual program in the following springs and pumping stations:
– The main refining station in Jbeil, which feeds the Jbeil coast.
– The main refining station in Nahr Ibrahim, which feeds Nahr Ibrahim and Halat
The springs of Jeita, Qashqoush, and Fawar Antelias, which feed the center of the High Matn, and the refining station in Dbayeh, which will affect the distribution of water in the center of the High Matn, the coast of the Matn, Achrafieh, and the southern areas of Beirut, which are fed by the reservoirs of Tallet El Khayat and Burj Abu Haidar.
– Ain Delba spring, which feeds the areas of Hadath, Hazmieh, Fayadiyeh, Louaize, Baabda and Al-Jumhur.
While the Corporation apologizes to the subscribers for the new situation imposed by natural conditions, it affirms at the same time that the heavy rainy season will compensate for the scarcity of previous years and constitute a source of renewal for the underground wells as well as for the water system established by the Corporation in the areas within its jurisdiction.”
