The Perak Water Board has lifted the water rationing exercise in the Batang Padang and Hilir Perak districts with immediate effect due to an improvement in the water level at the Bukit Temoh Water Treatment Plant. Water supply has been restored in several areas, with efforts ongoing to restore full service to all affected locations, including Teluk Intan.
The Perak Water Board has lifted the water rationing exercise in the Batang Padang and Hilir Perak districts with immediate effect. In a post on its official Facebook page, Perak Water said that the decision was made due to the positive trend in the water level at the Bukit Temoh Water Treatment Plant (WTP). ' Perak Water is making every effort to restore the water supply.
We will continue to update our valued customers on the latest developments and apologize for any inconvenience caused,' it said. Meanwhile, State Infrastructure, Energy, Water and Public Transport Committee chairman Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin said that water supply in several affected areas has now been restored. 'Water supply in locations such as Langkap, Chui Chak, Changkat Jong, and Air Hitam has been restored, while restoration efforts are ongoing for all residential areas in Teluk Intan,' he told Bernama via WhatsApp. Mohammad Nizar stated that, for Friday (Feb 14), priority has been given to mosques in Teluk Intan, Tapah, Bidor, and Bagan Datuk for use by Muslims performing Friday prayers. He added that the Bukit Temoh WTP had resumed operations, functioning at 70% of its actual capacity following the reactivation of the 900mm raw water pipeline from the Batu 10 intake. Earlier, the media reported that Perak Water had issued a notice about the water rationing exercise, which was scheduled to take place from Feb 12 to March 1. The water supply disruption was caused by leakages in LAP-owned underground water pipes that carry raw water to the Bukit Temoh WTP, located next to Taman Bunga Raya, Tapah. The leakages resulted from collapsing soil due to soil movement, which caused some houses in Taman Bunga Raya to experience severe cracks.

Water Supply Disruption Still Affecting Residents in Teluk IntanA water supply disruption that began last week due to two burst pipes near Taman Bunga Raya Tapah has not yet been fully resolved. Residents in several areas are still experiencing low water pressure. They rely on slow water flow from their pipes and water deliveries by tanker lorries from the Perak Water Board (LAP). The disruption affects approximately 50,000 accounts in Tapah, Bidor, and Teluk Intan, particularly in the Hilir Perak region. Residents in affected areas like Taman Sri Bahagia are facing both low water pressure and occasional complete outages, forcing them to rely on stored water and tanker deliveries. Residents in Simpang Empat, while having a slow water flow, are able to collect and store water. However, this slow flow poses challenges for daily use, especially during school holidays when more family members are present.
