The Rabat Governorate has approved urgent measures to limit water waste, including spa shop regulations, restrictions on drinking water usage, bathing facilities, and watering of green spaces and public squares.

These measures, launched by Governor Mohamed Yakoubi, entail a global restriction on using drinking water for various activities, such as washing streets, gardens, and vehicles; instead, treated water sources must be utilized.

The decree urges all parties involved to adapt to these measures by connecting to treated water networks or using smart stations for wastewater.

The decision prohibits planting water-consuming plants and herbs without authorization. It mandates the establishment of separate treated water networks for new projects with green spaces.

Bathing facilities, traditional, Turkish, and modern baths in Rabat will have restricted operating days.

Technical controls for public and private swimming pools, including mandatory recycling and filtration systems, are also specified.

Governor Yacoubi calls upon various sectors and institutions to prepare water conservation plans and intensify efforts to ensure water security.

Administrative measures will be enforced against violators, with authorities entrusted with implementation.

The decision entrusts various local and security authorities and relevant organizations to oversee its implementation, ensuring compliance across different sectors.
