Veolia strengthens water security in northern Jordan

February 17, 2026

  • 4-year contract for around 3 million people: Veolia signs a management contract with the
    Jordanian Water Authority to strengthen water and wastewater service reliability across
    northern Jordan.
  • 30,000 km² under water stress: The contract targets measurable gains in operational
    performance, service quality and financial sustainability in a highly constrained water
    region.
  • A long-term partner for water resilience: Building on projects delivering 247+ million m³
    of water annually, Veolia reinforces its role in securing Jordan’s water future. 

Veolia has signed a four-year performance-based management contract with the Water Authority of Jordan (WAJ), under the strategic oversight of the Ministry of Water and Irrigation (MWI). The contract aims to improve the reliability, efficiency and sustainability of water and wastewater services across northern Jordan, benefiting around 3 million people (around one third of the local population).

Under this agreement, Veolia will provide operation, maintenance and management services to Yarmouk Water Company (YWC), the public utility for water supply and wastewater services in the four Northern Governorates of Jordan: Irbid, Jerash, Ajloun and Mafraq. This service area covers nearly 30 000 km2, representing a strategic region facing growing pressure on water
resources.
