KUALA LUMPUR, Mar 12 — Water will be rationed out to residents of Kuala Muda, Kedah due to the prolonged dry spell that is reducing water levels at the Tupah treatment plant, said Water, Land and Natural Resources Minister Xavier Jayakumar. He said the falling output at the plant has disrupted supply for up to 20,000 homes around Semeling, Merbok, Singkir and Tanjung Dawai.
“The operator Syarikat Air Darul Aman has taken short-term mitigation steps by placing static tanks as well as sending clean water supplies to the affected users with the available tank lorries,” he said to reporters at the Dewan Rakyat today.
