A water crisis in Al-Darbasiyah for days, and people are waiting for the problem to be fixed before Eid

The city of Al-Darbasiyah has been witnessing a severe crisis in access to water over the past few days.

The crisis was caused by a power outage from the wells, which raised complaints among residents, who suffer from a lack of water, coinciding with the high temperatures in summer.

Mrs. Saleha, a resident of Al-Darbasiyah in the eastern neighborhood, says that the neighborhood is witnessing frequent water outages, especially with the advent of summer.

She added to ASO News Network that the water crisis has worsened over the past three days, as a result of the almost total water outage, dust storms, and rising temperatures.

The region is witnessing an electricity crisis as a result of the war in Syria.

“Abu Mohammad,” a resident of Al-Hudood neighborhood, has not been able to draw water from his home tank for days, and he does this again to reduce and vary the water pumping hours with the operation of electricity based on amperes.

Pumping water into homes requires electricity so that the pumps can work to deliver water to the tanks.

Abu Mohammad and the people of the city fear that the water crisis will continue, in light of the urgent need for water due to high temperatures and the approaching of Eid al-Adha.

The co-chair of the municipality of Al-Darbasiyah, Zilan Arab, confirmed the existence of the crisis and said that there was a malfunction in “Tabqa” line that feeds the service lines, and that the reason for the malfunction was the storms.

According to Zilan Arab, the line feeding from Tabqa was repaired on the basis of activating the wells again, she said
