KOTA KINABALU: The people here have been advised to store water to cope with demand during the Hari Raya Aidilfitri period amid peak demand by consumers on the west coast of the state, says Deputy Chief Minister (III) Datuk Shahelmey Yahya.
The Sabah Works Minister said water production has reached maximum levels and the Water Department is continuing to monitor the distribution to minimise disruptions.
“The public is advised to store water during this period as water consumption is expected to be high,” he said when asked about measures being taken to minimise water supply disruptions during the festivities. Many areas within the city and the neighbouring districts of Penampang, Putatan and Tuaran have been hit by a lack of water supply or low water pressure since late last year.
Meanwhile, residents in Kelantan also expressed worry over water disruptions during the Hari Raya festival period.
