No Mans Land After the armistice agreements (the Rhodes Agreements, April 3, 1949), the station remained in the area known as the No Mans Land and over the years until 1967, it was completely looted and destroyed.
After the Six-Day War, the No Mans Land and the station area were annexed to the states territories, to which the laws of the State of Israel apply. The mandatory water line continues to flow water in parts that are still active today.
In the 1980s, the Taoz Reservoir was built on the site. The reservoir, with a capacity of 1.4 million cubic meters, receives the wastewater from the Ayalon Wastewater Treatment Plant (a facility for purifying the wastewater of Lod, Ramla and Modiin) for the benefit of the regions agricultural use.
The water supply to Jerusalem is currently based on four water plants that Mekorot established from the 1950s onwards. Starting in 2022, the fifth water system will provide 50 million cubic meters to Jerusalem and the surrounding area.
