More than 400 rural households in Larache province are still waiting to have their homes connected to the drinking water network despite having paid required fees and completed administrative procedures, local sources told Hespress.
The delays, which exceed two years in some cases, affect several villages in the northern province, according to information reported by Hespress.
The situation contrasts with national water access figures, as Morocco reports over 94 percent rural coverage under public drinking water programs.
However, sector data show that household-level connections lag behind network coverage, particularly in remote rural areas.
In Larache, rural water distribution is managed under delegated service contracts involving private operators working on behalf of the National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water. Local sources cited recurring technical faults, leaks and service interruptions.
Several villages also reported recent water cutoffs, including one incident allegedly linked to a wage dispute involving an employee of the delegated operator.
