Water Source
Zarqa’s supply comes from a mix of surface sources (including return flows from the Zarqa River and regional surface networks) and local groundwater, treated at municipal facilities; however distribution-age infrastructure and occasional contamination issues can affect water by the time it reaches taps. Ongoing network maintenance and intermittent supply management are used to maintain treatment standards.
