The southern water crisis: a final warning to cut off service and resort to the judiciary to confront those who default on payments

The South Lebanon Water Corporation called on subscribers to expedite the payment of annual fees and accumulated dues, warning of the imposition of financial fines as of the beginning of 2027, in addition to taking strict measures that may amount to cutting off water for those who fail to pay.

The corporation explained, in a statement, that the annual fees for the year 2026 must be paid before the end of the current year to avoid fines becoming due at the beginning of next year. She indicated that settlement of dues is available directly through the Corporation’s offices or through OMT.

Regarding arrears, the Corporation called on subscribers who did not pay water allowances for the year 2024 and previous years to settle their situations, hinting at the possibility of cutting off water and taking the necessary legal measures to collect the due amounts.

In a facilitating step, the Corporation announced the availability of an installment system for accumulated fees extending up to 36 months, with the aim of giving late subscribers an additional opportunity to settle their financial obligations, renewing its call to everyone to benefit from these facilities within the specified deadlines to avoid penalties.
