A neighbour-reported board of where the water is out right now, so you can tell whether it is just your home or the whole village — with the water authority's line to report a cut-off.
About these tools
Town Tools builds free, public tools for Sir Ed Danniyeh and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.

Danniyeh sits on some of the richest water in Lebanon — hundreds of springs and a large aquifer — yet the taps still run dry, because the problem here is getting the water to the house, not finding it. When yours is dry, the first question is the same as with the power: is it just my home, or the whole village? Tap your village to add your report, and see whether neighbours are reporting dry taps right now.
This board is residents confirming each other — it is not the water authority. A report clears itself after a few hours, so what you see is what people are reporting now.
These reports come from neighbours, not the water utility. Anyone can read the board; reporting dry taps takes a free account, which keeps it honest. A report clears itself after about 12 hours, so the board stays current on its own. When several people report the same area, it’s likely the whole area is dry — not just one tap.
Reporting a water problem to North Lebanon Water Establishment — Danniyeh branch
The state water authority for the area runs supply and billing. Report a cut-off or a leak to the Danniyeh branch on 06 491 146.
The water itself is not the shortage — Danniyeh has more than 200 springs and one of the country's largest aquifers. What fails is delivery. Two things cut the taps here: a long power cut stops the pumps that lift water to the higher villages, and a hard winter freeze can split the highland pipes — drinking water was cut across these villages in February 2025 when the pipes froze. In a cold snap, keep some drinking water in store.
