Indeed, the water shortage crisis is not new, but it has worsened with the lack of rain and will even worsen with a total power outage. The effects of power outages started to affect water resources after the electricity supply fell to its lowest point. The South Lebanon Water Establishment announced a complete stoppage of water pumping due to the disruption of electricity, affecting the Corporation's facilities, main production stations, wells, and all distribution stations. The Establishment of The Water of Beirut and Mount Lebanon (EBML) reported a total water supply loss due to more than 40 hours of continuous total power outages at its main stations, which depend on electricity to pump water. One of the large water pumping stations in Mount Lebanon has also been turned off as generators cannot operate it because it needs a lot of energy. It is worth mentioning that some small stations have private generators that buy diesel from oil facilities to operate at a minimum capacity. The problem of running the pumping stations is added to the burdens of the Water Corporation of Lebanon, which is already in the red because of money owed to the oil facilities despite raising its annual subscription fee. As a result, the citizen is paying three bills: a water subscription bill, a bill for water tanks, and a drinking water bill.
