Moreover, it is the responsibility of Nablus Municipality to extend water networks across the entire city and of course to carry out periodic maintenance works. The length of Nablus water network amounts to 500 km with 1 inch diameter, while that of the rainwater network is10 km. The Municipality is currently in the process of developing the rainwater networks to tackle the potential problem of accumulating flood water in the city in the winter months.
